Projects We Help You Win
🧱 Home Extension Leads
Extensions are a steady source of work for builders — but only if you know when and where they’re happening.
BuildAlert tracks every extension planning application in your area, so you can reach homeowners before they’ve even hired an architect or builder.
Skip the cold outreach — and get your letter in front of warm home improvement leads fast.
🛏️ Loft Conversion Leads
From dormers to hip‑to‑gable builds, loft conversions are high‑value jobs — and highly competitive.
With BuildAlert, you can spot every relevant planning application as it’s submitted, complete with drawings and contact details.
Be the first to reach out, while the homeowner is still making decisions.
🚪 Porch Leads
Smaller jobs like porches often slip under the radar — but they still need a reliable builder.
BuildAlert makes it easy to find these quick‑turnaround projects in your area, letting you fill your pipeline with minimal effort.
🚗 Garage Conversion Leads
Garage conversions are popular with homeowners looking to add living space without major builds.
We highlight every application for garage and basement conversions, so you can target projects that match your skills and availability.
🏗️ New Build Leads
BuildAlert tracks everything from single‑plot builds to larger residential developments.
Whether you’re targeting private landowners or small developers, we give you access to new‑build planning applications the moment they’re posted — including full documents and ownership info.
Secure the job before others even know it exists.
