Finding Commercial Construction Permits

Ben Morand

Hey guys! I manage a few STR's remotely and am planning on getting into a few MTR's in the near future.

I have a question about finding contracted construction workers/engineers. I've read about people seeing construction companies working on big projects (seeing their trucks, signs, etc. on site), calling them up, and getting tenants that way as one lead-gen strategy. 

My question is, how would someone do that from afar? I've thought about possibly researching permits for large projects in my market and finding the companies tied to them, but I'm not really sure how to do that or if there is a more effective method of finding construction companies actively working in my area?

Essentially, if anyone knows a way to get contacts for construction companies doing work in a market without physically seeing their signs/trucks on sites, I'd be extremely grateful to hear.

Thanks a million!

Hey @Ben Morand as Kerry mentioned we have developed a web app that showcases all of the permitted jobs in Indianapolis so that investors can see what contractors are doing what work & reach out to them. I'll send you a dm to connect!  

On a side note I have a few MTR that I would be happy to chat about if you have questions. 

Best,

Adam
