Win more commissions with planning intelligence for architects
See every application in your patch as councils publish it, and get found by homeowners looking for a practice.
Your next client is already in the planning register. They are the homeowner next door to the scheme you just designed, the developer buying up sites in your town, the listed building owner who needs a specialist. Planning Signal Research shows you all of them.
Search any postcode, town or whole council, filter by type and status, and export the results to a spreadsheet. Save the searches that matter as alerts, and claim your free directory profile so homeowners looking for a practice find you first.
Whether you run a two person studio or a fifty person practice, you see the complete picture of planning in your patch and you spend your business development time where the work is.
The jobs you will see
Householder projects
Extensions and loft conversions in your patch show you which agents are winning the work and which streets are busy.
Listed building and heritage work
Listed building consent and conservation area applications, where specialist knowledge wins the commission.
Commercial and mixed use schemes
Change of use, offices to homes and new commercial space, ready for a practice with the right track record.
Developer pipelines
Outline applications and multi-home schemes show you which developers are active and where they will need a design team next.
Your competitors' work
See which practices win the work near you, what they submit and their approval record.
Self-build plots
Owners with a plot and a plan who need a practice to design the house and steer it through planning.

Your next client is already in the planning register
Every extension, conversion and new house near you was designed by someone. Research shows you who designed it and where, so you know which streets are busy, which developers are active and which owners still need a practice.
You stop guessing where the work is. You see it, filter it, export it and follow it up, from one account, for every council you work in.
Practices that know the planning register win the work. You see who is building what, where, and with whom, before the next round of commissions is decided.
Your directory profile works for you while you work for clients. Homeowners searching for an architect near them see your projects, your photos and your approval record.
Picture the week: a heritage scheme two streets from your studio, a developer submitting three outline applications in your town and a run of extensions designed by a practice you compete with. You see all of it, and you act first.
