PlanFalcon

For construction sales teams

Construction Leads from UK Planning Applications

Every development that needs planning permission appears on a public register months before it appears on a tender portal. PlanFalcon turns those registers into a ranked list of projects relevant to your business, so your next job starts with a shortlist instead of a search.

Where is your next job coming from?

For most construction businesses, new work arrives through relationships, repeat clients and tender invitations. All three have the same weakness: by the time you hear about a project through them, others have heard too.

Planning applications come earlier. They show where a development is, what it involves and how big it is — often before contractors are appointed and before products are specified. The information is public; the difficulty is that it is scattered across hundreds of councils and buried among applications that will never need a contractor.

PlanFalcon collects it, filters it and ranks it, so your business development time goes on projects that could plausibly become work.

Who uses planning data to find work

Different parts of the supply chain look for different things in the same application.

  • Specialist subcontractors

    Drainage, piling, highways and structures specialists looking for schemes that contain their package.

  • Main contractors

    Firms tracking which developments are coming forward in their region, and at what size, before tender lists form.

  • Construction suppliers

    Merchants and manufacturers who need to reach a project while products are still being specified.

  • Business development teams

    Sales and pre-construction teams who need a steady, qualified pipeline rather than a spreadsheet of council links.

  • Design and professional services

    Engineers, surveyors and consultants watching for schemes that will need their input.

  • Owner-managed firms

    Smaller contractors without a research team, who need the shortlist done for them.

  3. 3

    Rank by fit to your business

    Tell PlanFalcon your services, sectors and preferred scheme sizes, and applications are ranked against that — with the reasons shown.

  4. 4

    Act on the best ones

    Track leads in a pipeline, see the planning agent where published, and draft outreach from the project details on paid plans.

Questions

Are planning applications good construction leads?
They are early ones. An application tells you a project is intended and what it involves, often months before work starts. Not every application is built, and not every one needs your trade — which is why PlanFalcon scores and filters them rather than listing them all.
How is PlanFalcon different from a construction project database?
Large project databases add researched contacts and track projects through every stage, at enterprise prices. PlanFalcon focuses on the planning stage: it monitors applications in your territory, ranks them for your business and costs from £29 a month, with self-serve signup.
Do I get contact details for each project?
Where the council publishes the planning agent, PlanFalcon shows the agent’s company. It does not sell researched personal contact details.
How quickly will I see results?
As soon as you set a territory, PlanFalcon shows recent applications there ranked for your business, and new applications are checked every day after that.
