Planning leads for structural engineers: every extension, basement and new build near you
Extensions, loft conversions, basements and new homes near you, in your inbox the day councils publish them.
Every steel beam, every knocked through wall and every new foundation needs calculations before building control signs it off. The planning application tells you which projects are about to need them.
Planning Signal Leads sends you those projects the day the council publishes them, with the site address, the applicant and the architect who drew them. You offer calcs and inspections to the owner and the architect while the job is still on paper.
The jobs you will see

Why a planning lead beats a bought lead
A bought lead is a name on a form, sold to three or four firms at once. A planning lead is an owner who has paid for drawings, filed an application and put their address on the public record. They have committed to the project in writing, and they still need the people to build it.
You are not fighting a crowd for the same click. You reach the owner directly, with the full proposal in front of you, and you open the conversation knowing exactly what they want built.
Homeowners pick an engineer the week their application is approved. Get your offer in front of them that week and you win the calcs, the inspections and the next referral from a happy client.
You also see the architects working in your patch, so every lead is a route to repeat work from a practice, not just one job.
Picture the week: fifteen extensions approved in your patch, a basement on a terrace and a listed barn conversion. You send your offer to every owner and architect before they pick an engineer.
