Questions
Where do the leads come from?
From official building permit records that the City of Austin and the City of Chicago publish. We pull every commercial permit issued that week, drop homes and temporary event permits, and rewrite each one in plain English.
What does each lead include?
The project in plain English, the address, the permit date, the declared job value and size where published, the general contractor (with phone number in Austin, where the city publishes it) and a short ready-to-send note you can adapt.
Why would a cleaning, security or pest control company want this?
Every commercial build-out ends with a post-construction clean, and every new tenant needs janitorial, security and pest control. The permit is the earliest public signal, weeks or months before anyone posts a bid.
Why would a subcontractor or supplier want this?
Your customer is the general contractor. Every permit names the GC who just took on a commercial job, with their phone where the city publishes it, so you can call the GCs who are busy right now instead of waiting to be invited to bid.
Is it exclusive?
We cap each trade at 2 companies per city, so the leads stay worth calling. If your city and trade is already full when you sign up, we cancel the subscription, refund you in full and put you on the waitlist.
Which cities do you cover?
Austin and Chicago today. If you are somewhere else, email services@worthatry.co with your city and we will tell you if its permit data is available.
Can I cancel?
Anytime. Reply “cancel” to any Radar email: your subscription won’t renew, and the lists keep coming until the end of the month you’ve paid for.
Anything else? Email services@worthatry.co.
