New builds, additions, secondary-suite panel upgrades, commercial fit-outs, and solar PV permits all require licensed electrical contractors before framing closes. PermitBeat reads every permit Ottawa issues and sends the electrical jobs to one electrical company in Ottawa every Monday at 7am — not a shared dashboard, not a national platform.

Ottawa publishes issued building permits through its municipal open-data portal. PermitBeat pulls those records every week, classifies each permit by the trade it creates work for, and emails the electrical list to one electrical company in Ottawa every Monday at 7am. In the last 90 days that was 1,118 electrical-relevant permits.
Leads land within about a week of Ottawa issuing the permit — early in the project, while the work is still being planned and quoted.
Yes. PermitBeat sells the Ottawa, ON electrical list to exactly one electrical company. If the territory is taken, new inquiries go on a waitlist.

The Beat is $149 CAD/month, Beat + Concierge is $249 CAD/month, and each additional territory is $99 CAD/month. No annual contract; the first week's sample is free.
