Construction Leads in London – Domestic and Commercial Projects
Finding good construction leads in London is difficult. Most contractors end up competing for shared enquiries, pricing against multiple firms, or relying on referrals that are unpredictable.
BuildAlert provides domestic and commercial construction leads from London planning applications. These are real projects visible at the earliest stage, before homeowners request quotes and before commercial schemes are tendered.
Extensions, loft conversions, refurbishments, new builds and change-of-use projects all appear in planning registers first. That makes planning data the most reliable source of early construction work in London.

View UK Construction LeadsBuy Construction Leads in London Without Shared Enquiries
Many construction lead generation companies in London sell the same enquiry to multiple contractors. That usually leads to price competition and low conversion.
BuildAlert works differently. You browse London planning applications and decide which projects to pursue. Focus on domestic work like extensions and refurbishments, or target commercial projects likely to move into tender.
You can filter London construction leads by project value, location, type of work, and whether the project is domestic or commercial. This lets you focus only on work that fits your business.
Contractors use these filters to maintain a consistent pipeline of new opportunities, instead of reacting to last-minute or poor-quality enquiries.
If you are looking to buy construction leads in London, BuildAlert is designed for firms that want early visibility and better control over what they quote.
