Heads up — limited source for this city Boston's public open-data feed reports the licensed individual filing each permit rather than the business they work for — names like "Iliya Iliev" rather than "Iliev Roofing LLC". Permits + addresses + project values continue to refresh, but we can't surface contractor business names + phone numbers from this jurisdiction's public records the way other cities expose them. We're working on a state-licensing-DB join to recover the business affiliation.

Construction Activity in Boston

About Boston Building Permits

Boston, Massachusetts processes building permits covering residential construction, commercial buildouts, renovations, and specialty trade work. PermitGrab tracks 11,051+ Boston building permits — newest permit date: 2026-11-03 from official city sources.

Building permits in Boston can document new construction, renovations, and specialty work. The fields in a public record vary by filing, but may include a project address, scope, estimated cost, or contractor name. Use the displayed source information to evaluate whether a record is useful for your market research.

How Contractors Use Boston Permit Data

HVAC contractors, electricians, plumbers, and roofers can use Boston building-permit records to research visible construction activity. A permit may signal a project that is relevant to a particular trade, but the source record does not establish that its owner is seeking a bid.

Use the published date, project details, and any named business contact to research a project before outreach. Public records are not exclusive, and outreach results depend on the market, project, and your own process.

Eligible subscribers can receive trade-filtered alerts when new records are collected. Alert timing and field coverage follow the underlying source rather than a universal schedule.
