WHAT WE DO The Market Edge is a specialized information reporting service that provides leads to building material suppliers, subcontractors, financial institutions, governmental agencies, and other companies that provide goods and services to the residential and commercial construction industry. Residential Building Permit Report - Were any custom houses over 5,000 sq. ft. started last week? Were any new condo projects started last week? Commercial Building Permit Report - Were any new apartment complexes started last week? What about new hospital, car washes or dentist offices? Residential Building Permit Report Summary - Who are the top 10 builders for the 1st quarter? What about for the year? Which subdivision was #1 in permit dollars and number of houses started? Who are the builders in that subdivision? Trend Report (county specific) - How many condo permits were issued by a specific town? Is housing demand strong or weak? HOW WE DO IT Our researchers visit ALL of the code enforcement offices in each county and compile the new building permit data. 90% of the code offices we visit DO NOT provide printed materials and several DO NOT provide the contact numbers for the contractors. Our researchers manually enter the data into our report templates then WE add the phone numbers, map grids, and related information using various internet based resources and our database of historical information. WHO USES OUR SERVICES? Any company that provides a good or service to the construction industry. Regardless of whether you are a large national building material supplier, a truss company, an insulation contractor, a construction lender, or a small cabinet shop, our leads will help you be more profitable. We provide leads to over 800 contacts in the construction industry. Our goal is to be your source for new construction information.
