Why Planning Applications Are the Best Construction Leads in Birmingham

Planning applications are filed before any builder, engineer or supplier is contacted. That gives you a clear advantage: time to review drawings, understand scope and reach the homeowner while decisions are still open.

Contractors using planning data are often the first people to quote on extensions, loft conversions and refurbishments, which leads to higher conversion rates and better margins.
