Excerpts from sample briefs built from public permit records, 2026. Phone numbers included in the full brief.

What's in every brief

Not a raw permit dump. A short list of the projects that fit your business, with what you need to pick up the phone.

The project and its value

What's being built, where, and the permitted dollar value, so you can size it up in seconds.

Who to call

The general contractor on the permit, with a phone number. On larger jobs the GC is usually set at permit, but sub packages are often still open.

Why it matters to your trade

A one-line note on the scope for your trade: new building, heavy tenant buildout, next phase coming, and so on.
