Signal — Construction Intelligence
What is Signal?
Signal is our construction project intelligence engine. It tracks thousands of active construction permits, bids, and projects across the country and surfaces the ones relevant to low voltage contractors. Think of it as a lead generation tool — you see new commercial builds, renovations, and municipal projects before your competitors do.
Where does Signal data come from?
Signal aggregates data from public building permit portals, municipal bid boards, and project databases across multiple cities and counties. The data is refreshed regularly so you're always seeing current opportunities.
What cities does Signal cover?
Signal currently covers major metro areas across the US with new cities added regularly. You can browse the Signal map to see current coverage. If you need a specific city, let us know — we're actively expanding.
What kind of projects show up in Signal?
Commercial new construction, tenant improvements, renovations, municipal projects, healthcare, education, hospitality, retail buildouts, and more. Projects are categorized by type, value, and location. We focus on the kinds of projects that need low voltage subcontractors.
How is Signal different from other lead services?
Most construction lead services are built for general contractors or huge firms. Signal is specifically filtered for low voltage relevance. We also include key project details like general contractor info, project value, and permit data — the details you need to actually pursue the work.

What does a subscription include?
