For residential + small-commercial contractors priced out of ConstructConnect

The ConstructConnect Alternative for Independent Contractors

ConstructConnect (Dodge Data + iSqFt + BidClerk) serves commercial GCs bidding 7-9 figure projects — subscriptions start at $3,500/yr per seat and scale up. PermitGrab fits the other 80% of contractors: residential, small commercial, remodel, restoration, roofing, solar, HVAC. Daily permit data, $149/mo flat, no minimum commitment. We don't compete with ConstructConnect — we complete the market they don't serve.

Frequently asked questions

Why is ConstructConnect so much more expensive?

ConstructConnect serves commercial GCs bidding on multi-million-dollar projects — their data includes plans, specs, estimating, takeoff. That tier of tooling justifies $3,500+ per seat per year. Residential contractors don't need that depth — they need fresh permit signals and homeowner contact, which is exactly what PermitGrab delivers at $149/mo flat.

Could I use both?

If you run both commercial and residential trades, yes — ConstructConnect for the commercial bid pipeline, PermitGrab for the residential permit-pull feed. They cover different jobs and the price tiers reflect that.

What size company is PermitGrab built for?

Solo contractors through 10-truck regional crews. Most of our subscribers are 1-3 person shops in roofing, solar, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, restoration, and remodeling. Enterprise GCs typically use Dodge / ConstructConnect / Procore instead.

How is data quality different?

ConstructConnect publishes early-stage commercial project intel from architect/engineer filings. PermitGrab publishes late-stage residential + small-commercial intel from city permit-issued records. Different signals in the project lifecycle, different buyer.
