The Signals That Win Construction Work
Every piece of construction work starts with a signal. A permit gets filed. A property changes hands. An owner holds long enough that the building needs attention. VIREC tracks all of them so you find the opportunity first.
Building Permits
Commercial building permits aggregated by market and quarter. The earliest public signal that a project is moving forward. You see it before it hits the bid board.
Pre-bid signal · Quarterly
PermitsDemolition Permits
A demolition permit means incoming vacant land. For demolition contractors, direct work. For general contractors, a future build site. Either way, you want to know about it early.
Future build signal · Submarket
OwnersActive Buyers & Sellers
Verified property owners who completed commercial acquisitions or dispositions in a given time window. When a developer is assembling properties in your area, that is your cue to reach out.
Capital-active · By submarket
PropertiesSales Comps
Confirmed ownership transfers from public records. Address, asset class, sale date, buyer and seller. New owners almost always need construction services.
New-owner outreach · Quarterly

From Permit to Pitch in Three Steps
VIREC turns permit data and ownership records into a targeted outreach list before your competitors make the first call.
01
Spot the signal
A building permit is filed. A commercial property sells. A demolition permit gets approved. VIREC surfaces these construction leads by market and quarter so you see the activity as it happens.
02
Identify the owner
Every signal connects to a property, and every property to an owner. VIREC surfaces ownership data so you know exactly who to contact, even when the property is held through a numbered company.
03
Build your list and reach out
Use Property Explorer to filter by geography, transaction type, time window, and asset class. Save your prospect list to My Data and start making calls. Pro adds mail-merge export of contacts.
In practice
A demolition permit is issued for a commercial property in Atlanta. VIREC shows that the buyer acquired the site 60 days ago. You call the new owner before the project goes to bid. That is how construction prospecting works when you have the data.
Ask VIREC like you would ask a research assistant.
