How Morningline works

  1. Overnight, we read the permits. Every new Los Angeles building permit, the day the city publishes it.
  2. We pick the jobs that fit your trade and research who's behind each one: the builder, the owner, the company that just bought the house.
  3. By morning, it's in your inbox: a short call list with phone numbers, so you call first.

How we count

Building permits issued from October 6, 2026 through November 4, 2026, the most recent 30 days of Los Angeles data we hold. Source: public building permit records for Los Angeles. Each permit is counted once. Values are the valuations reported on the permits, leaving out obvious data-entry errors; a project filed as several permits is valued once. Contractor counts are companies named on the permits.
