Not a lead list. A daily read of every permit.
A lead you buy is someone who filled out a form, and the same form often goes to several companies. A building permit is a project that is actually happening, filed with the city, with the builder or owner named. Morningline gives you every one in your area that needs site work, and only one excavation contractor in each area gets that list. How permit research compares to buying leads
