Every lift job entering UK planning, before it goes to tender

We open the documents attached to each application and read them, drawings included. A lift is designed on a drawing, so it turns up as a room label on a floor plan, a lift shaft on a section, or a line in a design and access statement. It is almost never in the application description, which is the only thing a general construction-data service reads.

Two things: we only do lifts, and we read the documents. A general planning feed covers every trade at once and matches on the application description, so a supermarket extension and a loft conversion arrive side by side and it is left to you to work out which ones involve a lift. Most applications never say. In our own audit, 8 of 9 lift jobs were invisible to a keyword search of the application text — the lift was a room label on a floor plan, or a line buried in a design statement. We open the attached documents, drawings and scanned images included, and read them. What you get is a short list of jobs that genuinely contain a lift, each with the quote from the document that proves it, rather than an afternoon spent opening PDFs on council portals to find out.

At submission. These are live applications, sent as they appear on the council portal, not approvals and not contract awards. In practice that means you are speaking to the architect while the lift is still a box on a drawing and no supplier has been specified.

The site address and postcode, the council and planning reference, the building type, the date it was submitted, a link to the portal, and the quote from the document that shows there is a lift, so you can judge it yourself. Plus the agent and the architect: firm, postal address, Companies House number and directors on most jobs, and a verified email or phone on around half.

Twice over. Ask for ten free lift jobs from the area you cover and we will send them across with an honest estimate of how many to expect each month, no card and no call. Then every plan opens with seven free days, so you can watch a full week of live jobs arrive before anything is charged.

Yes, and we would rather say so plainly. These are shared subscription feeds, which is exactly what keeps a region at £45 a month instead of several hundred. What you are buying is timing, not exclusivity: you get the job at submission, months before the lift package goes out to tender, which is a long head start on anyone working from approvals or contract awards.

That is what the bespoke feed is for. Rather than our ten regions you set the filter yourself: a postcode radius around your depot, a handful of named councils, a building type such as care homes or hotels, a project value, or extra keywords like platform lifts, escalators, stairlifts or lift refurbishment. Tell us what you want and we will come back with the expected volume before you pay anything. From £45 a month on a six-month package.

The subscription simply starts at the plan price and runs monthly from there. Cancel at any point inside the free week and you are charged nothing at all. After that it stays monthly rolling, so you can stop whenever you like.

Yes. Plenty of installers have no time to chase a list, so we can run the approach for you: automated email, LinkedIn, or both, to the architect and the agent on every job in your feed. It goes out in your name and under your branding, and replies come directly to you rather than through us. That is from £350 a month on top of any plan, and you can start or stop it independently of the feed.

Every job comes from the public planning register, which councils publish by law. We add nothing from third-party data brokers. Contact details are business contact details for firms acting professionally on the application, and we drop anything that looks personal rather than corporate.
