For materials suppliers and merchants

Reach Projects While Products Are Still Being Specified

The best time to put your products in front of a project is before they are specified, not after the order has gone elsewhere. PlanFalcon monitors UK planning applications and ranks the housing, commercial and industrial schemes in your area, so your sales team knows what is coming.

14-day free trial, no card required. PlanFalcon identifies and prioritises potential opportunities — it doesn’t guarantee work.

By the time there is an order, the decision is made.

Materials on a new scheme are often chosen early: by the architect, the engineer, the developer’s buyer or the contractor pricing the job. If your first contact is when someone asks for a quote, the specification may already favour a competitor.

Planning applications are where most schemes first become public, with the site, the number of homes or the floor area, and the kind of building. That is enough to know which projects matter to you, but not if it means reading every council register in your area.

PlanFalcon does the reading and ranks the larger schemes, so your team can spend its time on projects worth a conversation.

What a planning application can tell a supplier

These are the signals PlanFalcon looks for in application descriptions. They show which schemes are worth a closer look — they do not tell you who will place the order.

  • Scheme type

    Residential developments, warehousing and logistics, industrial units, mixed use, business parks, solar farms and battery storage.

  • Scale

    Residential unit counts and site areas, so a 150-home scheme stands out from a single dwelling or a small extension.

  • Groundworks and drainage content

    Drainage, earthworks, foundations and new roads, useful if you supply pipes, aggregates, concrete, kerbs or other civils products.

  • Where it is

    The site address and planning authority, so you can match schemes to your branches or delivery area.

How PlanFalcon helps you prioritise

  1. 1

    Set your territory

    Pick the towns or postcodes your branches or reps cover and how far you deliver. PlanFalcon watches the planning authorities that cover them.

  2. 2

    Tell it what you sell to

    Choose the kinds of schemes you want — housing, commercial, industrial — and the size range worth your team’s time.

  3. 3

    See schemes ranked, with reasons

    Each application is scored and ranked. You see why it was flagged — the scheme type, the unit count, the site size — not just a number.

  4. 4

    Keep track of what matters

    Save projects to a pipeline, check the planning agent where the council publishes one, and get alerted when a tracked application is decided or its conditions come in.

Questions

Is PlanFalcon only for contractors?
No. Contractors use it to find work to price, and suppliers and merchants use it to find projects to get specified on. When you sign up you choose what your business does, and PlanFalcon ranks applications for that.
Does PlanFalcon tell me who is buying the materials?
No. A planning application shows the scheme, its location and size and, where the council publishes it, the planning agent. It does not name the contractor or the buyer, so it is a starting point for your sales team rather than a confirmed order.
Which areas does PlanFalcon cover?
PlanFalcon monitors planning applications across 400+ UK planning authorities. You choose the territories you want to watch.
Does PlanFalcon guarantee sales?
No. It identifies and prioritises potential projects from public planning data. Turning them into orders is still down to your relationships, products and pricing — PlanFalcon helps you find the right projects to talk about.

Know which projects are coming before your competitors do.
