Built on Ireland's official construction record
Every lead links back to a public, authoritative source: assembled automatically, de-duplicated and enriched, never hand-researched and never invented. The national planning system, building control, the national appeals board, the census, the heritage registers, the company register and the official price record, brought into one place and refreshed weekly across all 31 planning authorities, so you decide on what's current, not a picture that's months out of date.
The live record, updated this week. Not a periodic report.
The sources
17 integrated sources, one clean record
Each source is public open data re-used under Ireland's PSI licence, or a licensed enrichment API, pulled and joined automatically, never typed up by hand. Here's what each one adds, and how often we refresh it.
National planning applications
Every planning application across all 31 planning authorities, sourced from the DHLGH national ArcGIS service: complete nationally from 2024, with earlier years added as councils publish them. The foundation every lead is built on.
BCMS commencement & completion
Commencement notices from 2019 and completion certificates from the National Building Control Management System (NBCO): the sites that are actually breaking ground. Each notice adds the appointed main contractor wherever a company is named, the building itself (approved housing body, protected structure, prefab or MMC, construction method, heating fuel) and the builder's own declared completion and handover date, the moment facilities-management and compliance contracts are let.
NBCO fire-safety & access certs
42,904 Fire Safety Certificate and Disability Access Certificate applications across 26,511 distinct buildings: the statutory sign-off for commercial, apartment and fit-out schemes, one of the few sources that carries floor area, and the basis of our Compliance Register of buildings that by statute must maintain fire and access provisions for their operational life.
An Bord Pleanála / ACP appeals
More than 26,000 appeal cases, including the grant-on-appeal signal that turns a refused application into a live opportunity.
ACP Strategic Infrastructure (SID)
332 nationally significant projects (data centres, wind and solar farms, battery storage, grid, ports and water) decided directly by An Coimisiún Pleanála, bypassing the council registers. Geocoded and enriched with the developer, consent status, EIAR and NIS flags and the capacity read from each case's statutory site and newspaper notices.
ACP renewable-energy register
Every solar, wind, battery and grid case lodged with An Coimisiún Pleanála since January 2025, with the technology, the county, the planning authority's decision and the consenting route (including SID-REDIII, the accelerated route for direct applications made after 6 August 2025), linked back to the appeal and strategic-infrastructure records.
RESS auction outcomes
The successful projects of each Renewable Electricity Support Scheme auction (RESS 3, 4 and 5), matched by project name and location onto the planning applications and infrastructure cases that carry them. A consent with a route to revenue is the strongest signal that a scheme will actually be built.
EIA major projects
2,030 projects that triggered a full Environmental Impact Assessment, the largest schemes in the State across major residential, industrial, energy, waste and infrastructure. Updated weekly from the national EIA portal (newest filing September 2026), geocoded, with the consent regime and the developer where it is an organisation.
Census 2022 & Pobal deprivation
Every lead is placed in its Census 2022 Small Area, Electoral Division, Local Electoral Area and urban area, and carries the area's profile beside the national figure: homes built before 1980, heating fuel, tenure and vacancy from the CSO, and the Pobal HP Deprivation Index by Electoral Division.
Heritage registers (SMR & NIAH)
Sites inside a Sites and Monuments Record zone of notification, where an archaeology condition is likely, and National Inventory of Architectural Heritage buildings within 50 m of the site, from the National Monuments Service and the Department of Housing.
Property Price Register
More than 790,000 residential sales: achieved prices, comparables, and a repeat-sale appreciation index keyed by address.
CSO PxStat
Monthly market signals: residential commencements (the earliest demand signal, ahead of completions by 12 to 24 months), the Residential Property Price Index and its momentum, and mean sale price by Eircode routing area, shown as a local-price badge on every lead. Plus BER ratings (retrofit demand), RTB rents (yield), new-dwelling completions, the material-price index and permissions granted.
CRO company register
More than 28,000 companies: the developer or contractor entity behind a project, with registered office and directors where public.
eTenders / TED public contracts
More than 7,000 public construction contracts, over 1,800 of them with published award values: who is winning public work, and for how much.
MyPlan / DHLGH land-use zoning
Statutory land-use zoning for every lead, resolved by point-in-polygon against the development-plan layers.
Tailte Éireann & CSO boundaries
The National Statistical Boundaries: county, Local Electoral Area, Electoral Division and Small Area geography, the boundaries every lead is placed and counted within.
Enrichment & AI layer
Google Places (published company phone and website), EU PVGIS (solar yield for every site), Eircode parsing, our quantity-surveyor value model, and an AI classification pass that reads every description to tag scale, use-class, storeys, demolition, renewable-energy and MVHR / EV-charging signals.
The method
How we turn public records into leads
The value isn't any single register. It's the joins between them.
Ingest
We pull each source on its own cadence, normalise the formats, and de-duplicate, turning every register into one clean record set.
Link
We join BCMS commencement notices back to their planning application, and tie applications, appeals and sales to the same property by Eircode and entity.
Enrich
We add the developer or contractor identity, the company's published contact, a quantity-surveyor value estimate, a solar yield rating, the statutory zoning, the Census and deprivation profile of the area, and any archaeology zone or protected building within 50 m.
Score
Each lead is tagged by trade and scored on timing and fit, so the sites breaking ground in your county surface first.
The compounding graph
Application → appeal → commencement → completion → sale, all keyed by Eircode and entity. Every new source makes the whole picture sharper.
The intelligence layer
Because every record is keyed to the same property and entity, the joins produce signals no single source could:
RTB rents joined to achieved sale prices reveal where the numbers actually work.
The Property Price Register, matched address-to-address, tracks how values move over time.
Clusters of new applications and commencements surface areas before they're obvious.
CRO identity linked across projects builds a real picture of who delivers.

Responsible by design
We work at the organisation level. Most of our data is about companies and registered entities - not personal data. Where an applicant is a private individual we are deliberately restrictive: we never enrich or sell personal phone numbers or email addresses for individuals, ambiguous cases are treated as individuals fail-safe, and any erasure or objection request is honoured permanently and survives our weekly rebuild.
