Trades Radar shows you where construction activity is happening and helps you respond faster so you don't miss jobs.

Get Sample Report → See How It Works

Every day, builders, contractors and homeowners pull permits for the exact work you do — and most contractors never see it. Trades Radar turns that public data into a map of where the jobs are, gives you a plan so your marketing dollars go where demand already exists, and automates your outreach so you're first through the door.

How It Works

Three steps. Less wasted effort.

1

Identify Active Areas

The system analyzes real permit and construction activity to show you exactly where work is happening — by trade, by neighbourhood, and by who. Whether the permit was pulled by a contractor, a builder, or a homeowner, you know what kind of job it is before you reach out.

2

Target the Right Jobs

Focus your marketing and outreach in areas with real activity. Stop spending in zones that aren't producing and put budget where demand exists.

3

Never Miss a Lead Add-On

When a lead calls and you're on the tools, a phone agent answers, qualifies the caller, books site visits and estimates, and sends you a notification — all without you picking up. Add a voice agent to your website and it works the same way around the clock. Every inquiry handled. Nothing slips.

What's Included

Built for how contractors actually work.

📋

Trades Radar Reports

Construction activity insights by trade and city. See which zones are active, which are cooling, and where to focus next.

📞

Lead Capture Systems

Missed call handling and web inquiry response — so every lead gets a reply, even when you're on the tools.

Faster Response Workflows

Simple systems that get back to prospects quickly. Speed of response is one of the biggest factors in winning the job.

🎯

Fewer Missed Opportunities

Combining market intelligence with better response means less work slipping to competitors who simply answered faster.

About

Built from the inside out.

Trades Radar is built by Construction Nerds Consulting — a consulting operation with 40+ years of being self-employed in the home service industry.

Working closely with seniors and homeowners through a local community centre made one thing obvious: the gap between homeowners who need work done and contractors who need more jobs isn't a skills problem. It's a timing and communication problem.

Trades Radar was built to close that gap — practical intelligence tools that show contractors where to focus, homeowners how to make better decisions, and simple systems that make sure both sides get the outcome they're looking for.
