View Lee County leads →If you sell to general contractors — building-material suppliers and lumberyards, equipment rental, construction software and CRM platforms, bonding and insurance programs, financing vendors — or you run a subcontracting business and want to know which GCs are actually breaking ground across Southwest Florida, Lee County is one of the deepest general-construction markets we track. The Fort Myers–Cape Coral metro runs on new-home starts, hurricane-hardening retrofits, and a steady commercial remodel pipeline, and the county publishes its permits with the contractor named on the record. Real construction jobs pull permits, so this stream maps the general contractors actually building in Lee County.
Over the last 90 days PermitGrab indexed 61 permits pulled by Lee County general contractors, filed by 38 distinct general contracting businesses — 15 of those permits landed in the last 30 days from 11 active firms. The newest general-contractor filing is dated June 13, 2026, and the feed refreshes as Lee County publishes (the county posts permits in periodic batches rather than daily). City-wide, PermitGrab indexed 1,234 Lee County permits over the same 90 days, 349 of them in the last 30.
The Lee County General Contractor List
Most lead products hand you an address and nothing else. PermitGrab builds an actual contractor list: 117 Lee County general-contractor profiles, each tied to real permit activity, with the trade, the firm, and the most recent filing attached. Florida’s state contractor-licensing data lets us attach a phone number to these firms — in Lee County, 116 of the 117 general-construction profiles carry a phone number (111 distinct numbers). That is 99% phone coverage on a focused, deduplicated list of building companies you can prove are actively working, not a stale directory scraped off the web.
We are deliberate about the phone count. A busy GC can appear on several permits, but you get one number, not several — and we only report a phone when licensing data gives us a real one. So the figure that matters for outreach is 111 distinct general-contractor phone numbers, every one tied to a business that pulled a real Lee County permit, on top of the full 117-profile roster of named firms you can run against your own data.
Who Is Actually Pulling the Permits
The work spans national production builders, local custom builders, and specialty construction firms. Across recent filings the active general contracting businesses include R L James Inc, Centex Homes, Lennar Homes LLC, Build Pro Construction Inc, Bartholomew Formoso DBK Inc, Waylon LeBeau Hurricane Safe Shutters Inc, FMGI Inc, Coastal Concrete Services LLC, and Firm Builder LLC. These are the named players you can verify on the permit record — useful whether you are benchmarking competitors, hunting GC relationships as a sub, or selling lumber, concrete, equipment, bonding, software, or financing into the crews building the Fort Myers–Cape Coral market.
Who This List Helps
Subcontractors get the highest-value use: when a GC files a permit, that project needs electrical, plumbing, HVAC, roofing, drywall, and concrete subs — the filing GC is your next partnership call, with the phone number attached. Building-material suppliers and lumberyards reach the firms actively buying framing packages, concrete, and finish material in Southwest Florida. Equipment rental branches see which builders have live jobsites. Construction software, bonding, insurance, and financing vendors get a vetted list of demonstrably operating construction businesses — 99% with a phone number, every one tied to a real filed permit.
The Rest of the Lee County Trades

Freshness Is the Point
A contractor list bought a year ago is mostly disconnected numbers and finished projects. This one refreshes as Lee County publishes — the newest general-contractor filing is dated June 13, 2026 — so the firms you reach are building right now. Size the opportunity with our free permit lead estimator, browse the live county feed on the Lee County permits page, read the method behind it in our guide to contractor leads from building permits, or see PermitGrab pricing for the full named list delivered daily.
One more thing on cost: shared lead networks resell a single homeowner to four or five contractors, so a booked job can cost $200–250 in lead fees. PermitGrab is a flat $149/month, never resold — you reach the general contractor the day the permit files.
