Built for trades and suppliers

Pool builders, Landscapers, Solar installers, Blinds and curtains, Fencing, Kitchens, Flooring, Security. If your work follows a builder onto site, the approval is your earliest signal. Big subscription services that track construction leads start at around A$500 a month and are built for commercial estimators. Build Radar is the short list for one trade in one area.

  • DA lodged: plans are in, work is months away. Early enough to get on the quote list.
  • CDC issued / construction certificate: work starts within weeks. Time to knock.
  • Every row: street address, suburb, postcode, council, cost of works, dwellings and the portal's description of the work. Never anyone's name.

Questions

Where does the data come from?
From the NSW Planning Portal's open data (CC BY 4.0): every development application, complying development certificate and construction certificate lodged or decided in NSW. We read it every night and sort each project by work type.
Which stage should I act on?
A lodged DA means plans are in and work is months away: early enough to get on the quote list. An issued CDC or construction certificate means work usually starts within weeks.
What's in each row?
Street address, suburb, postcode, council, cost of works, number of dwellings, stage, dates and the portal's description of the work. Never the name of an applicant, owner or builder. The free view hides street numbers.
What does it cost?
Free: the weekly count and ten projects for your area, street numbers hidden. Trade is A$49 a month (one work type, up to 10 postcodes). Area is A$99 a month (every work type in one council area, with CSV). Paid plans start with a 7-day free trial (card at sign-up); cancel any time.
Does it cover states other than NSW?
Not yet. Build Radar covers NSW only, where the Planning Portal publishes applications from every council as open data.
