Almost nobody reads the permit record. I compile it so a contractor can see how many permits they pulled, where they rank among the firms they compete with, and what share of the market they hold. Every figure can be checked against the city's own record.
I'm Ben Hackbart, a software developer based in Wisconsin. It's a one-person operation. You deal with the person who built it. If a figure is wrong, I check it against the record and fix it.
PermitScope is business information compiled from public building-permit records. A report counts the permits a city recorded under a business name, ranks that business against the others in the same market and period, and shows the market around it.
In plain terms: the figures are permits on the public record, and nothing more. They are not a measure of revenue, of work done, or of how good a business is. Work done without a permit, filed by the homeowner, or filed under a different spelling of your name will not appear. Check any figure against the city's own record before you rely on it.
Reports about your own permits. Each one is a one-time purchase, charged once:
What each one holds: Permits pulled, your rank each month, share of the market, and your median job value.
Your market, last 12 months: $9, one-time. It covers your market, not just your own record. It lists every leading firm's permits. Your own permits are listed and counted. I offer it where your market has at least 10 firms.
Prices include sales tax. Nothing is added at checkout.
Once you have bought a report, I offer one more thing, Each month from now on, at $39 a month. Each new month's report, sent when the month closes: your permits, your rank and your share. Cancel any time, in one click. It renews every month until you cancel. I do not offer it before you have bought something.
