For insurance agencies

Find commercial projects before they shop for coverage.

We watch planning and zoning filings in your territory, trace who is behind each project, and deliver the leads in a system built around your agency. We build it and keep it running.

Watch the walkthrough How it works

The problem

  1. Construction projects are planned and started around you all the time, but it is hard to find information on them, or even know they exist, ahead of time.
  2. Agencies end up chasing leads after they stop being useful, hoping another project is coming down the pipe.

The solution

  1. Hunt construction leads while they are still useful. See what is being planned for construction several months before policies are bound.
  2. See which contractors in your area are taking on jobs bigger than anything they have done before. That signals a need for more bonding capacity, new GL or workers’ comp, and the other coverage that comes with bigger work.

What you get

  • Built around your agency

    Set up for your territory, the lines you write, and how your producers work, with filters such as project value. Yours alone, never a shared feed.

  • Early project leads

    New projects from planning and zoning filings, with a rough project value.

  • The people behind the LLCs

    We trace owner and developer LLCs through state filings, web searches and plan sets. When we find the person, you get a name and phone number.

  • Contractors moving up

    Where the county publishes building permits, we rank the contractors stepping up to bigger jobs.

How it works

You make the calls. We handle everything behind them.

Coverage depends on what each county and city publishes, so we check your territory before we start. In Greater Nashville, that means about 115 new leads a month.

  • We agree on your territory and the lines you write: builder’s risk, general liability, surety.
  • We point the system at the cities and counties in your territory and set it up under your name.
  • You log in and make the calls. We keep it running and fix what breaks.

Built by a contractor.

Thomas Construction built this to find its own projects. It has added about $557 million in construction leads to the pipeline we are working today.

How this is different

  • It is not a list of leads

    You are not buying leads one at a time. We build a system for your agency and run it for you.

  • Months ahead of the build

    Planning and zoning filings show a project before a permit is ever pulled, so you reach the owner before coverage is shopped.

  • A working contractor is behind it

    It started as the lead system Thomas Construction built to find its own work.
