Planning leads for the work you want to win
Create campaigns around the types of projects your company is looking for and the areas you cover.
Whether you’re interested in residential extensions, refurbishments, HMO conversions, multi-unit developments, commercial fit-outs, care home projects or larger construction schemes, BuildAlert will match relevant planning applications to your campaigns.
Review the project, applicant details, planning agent details and available documents, then decide which opportunities are worth pursuing.
How the Data Only plan works
1. Tell us what you’re looking for
Create up to three campaigns based on the types of projects and areas you want to target.
2. Review matching applications
When we find a match, open the planning application to see the project location, applicant details, planning agent details and available documents.
3. Follow up your way
Contact the applicant using your own process, or top up mailing credits whenever you want BuildAlert to print and send a letter for you.
Want us to handle the mailing too?
If you want to automate more of the process, our mailing plans include letter credits, automated sending and campaign tracking.
BuildAlert can find matching opportunities and automatically send your letters as new leads are added to your campaigns.
