How it works

Find, contact, win - the whole loop in one app

1

Find the right sites

Every planning application and commencement notice across all 31 Irish councils and the national portal - aggregated automatically, de-duplicated, tagged by trade and updated weekly. Filter to your county and trade in one screen.

2

See who to call

Every lead goes straight to the council application that names the applicant and agent, so you know who's behind the job. On Max, where a company is behind it, you also get its registered details and published phone or website, so you reach the decision-maker, not a switchboard.

3

Send an AI-written approach, then track it

Generate a tailored outreach message grounded in the public record, then work every lead in the built-in CRM - from first contact to won. Find, reach out and follow up without leaving the app.

What you get

The modern alternative to manual lead lists

Weeks-ahead timing

Commencement notices mean construction starts within weeks - the strongest buying signal there is. You see them before work starts on most sites, not hand-researched months late.

Your trade, filtered

Every project auto-tagged by vertical: roofing, solar, groundworks, electrical, extensions and more. No noise, no spreadsheets to wrangle.

Who to call

The company behind the site - registered office, CRO record and its published phone and website - plus the council application that names the applicant and agent. You reach the decision-maker straight away.

AI outreach, built in

Generate a tailored first approach to the company behind a site in one click, then track every lead through the built-in CRM. Find, contact and follow up in one place.

API, bulk export & webhooks

Pull your filtered segment into your CRM or stack, export it, or have new matches pushed to you by webhook. Whole-dataset feeds come with an Enterprise licence. No other Irish source offers this.

Market intelligence

Rental-yield estimates, a repeat-sale price index, emerging-zone scores, land-use zoning and material-cost trends - context no competitor puts beside the lead.

“Every week it tells us which new developments in our area will need planting, before anyone else calls them.”
PlantGift.ie · Irish landscaping supplier, owned by the founder of PlanningLeads

Every lead links back to the official public record.

Planning authorities, Building Control, the company register and EU tenders - assembled automatically, never invented. You can always check the source.

Built on official data

Sourced from the record, not guesswork

Every lead traces back to an official public source and links to the record - assembled automatically, de-duplicated and enriched, never invented. We only show company- and area-level information - never individuals' personal data - so it's fully GDPR-compliant.

An investment, not an expense

€29/mo. Win one job and it's paid for years.

There's €46.7bn of construction on site right now. You don't need all of it - you need to be first to one slice, this week. PlanningLeads replaces the manual grind that was costing you the work.

Do the maths: you win your trade's slice, not the whole build. One €12k roof at a 20% margin nets €2,400, enough to cover Pro for about seven years.

Replaces: The Friday-afternoon scour

31 council portals by hand - gone. The pipeline arrives filtered to your trade and county.

Replaces: Stale lead-list subscriptions

Source-linked and live, not a PDF that's already months out of date.

Replaces: A researcher's hours

No one trawling registers - leads come to you, scored and de-duplicated.

Replaces: Reporting & paperwork

Export board- and tender-ready, every figure cited to the official record.
