Vancouver publishes issued permits every week with the project value, the neighbourhood and, on most permits, the building contractor.
We read every new permit and tag it by the work it describes, so a electrical list has electrical work, service upgrades, EV chargers and fire and security alarm systems. Revisions to older permits and repeat sub-permits for the same project are dropped, so each job appears once.
Most of this period's permits were in Downtown, Mount Pleasant, Shaughnessy, Fairview, Marpole, Kerrisdale.
Most electricians call or email the contractor named on the permit, or knock on the door at the address, in the first week, before the work is tendered out. Calling a business named on a public permit is normal business development; follow Canada's anti-spam law (CASL) before sending commercial email.
Every plan starts with 7 days free. Prices in Canadian dollars.
One city, one trade.
For crews working across a region.
The City of Vancouver's official open data, published under its open government licence. We are not affiliated with the city.
Within one business day of signing up, with the last two weeks of permits. After that, every Monday morning.
Starter (CA$29) covers electrical alone in Vancouver, which is busy enough for most crews. Pro (CA$59) adds every other trade, and Region (CA$99) covers up to 3 cities.
