Built on Ireland's official construction record
Every lead on PlanningLeads links back to a public, authoritative source — assembled automatically, de-duplicated and enriched, never hand-researched and never invented. We integrate the national planning system, building control, the courts of appeal, the company register and the official price record, refreshed weekly across all 31 local authorities — so the picture is current, not months out of date.
The sources
Ten integrated registers, 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 local authorities, sourced from the DHLGH national ArcGIS service — the foundation every lead is built on.
BCMS commencement & completion
Commencement notices and completion certificates from the National Building Control Management System (NBCO) — the sites that are actually breaking ground.
An Bord Pleanála / ACP appeals
26,095 appeal cases — including the grant-on-appeal signal that turns a refused application into a live opportunity.
Property Price Register
790,415 residential sales — achieved prices, comparables, and a repeat-sale appreciation index keyed by address.
CSO PxStat
BER ratings (retrofit demand), RTB rents (yield), new-dwelling completions, the WPM39 material-price index and BHQ16 permissions granted.
CRO company register
28,514 companies — the developer or contractor entity behind a project, with registered office and directors where public.
eTenders / TED public contracts
7,042 public construction contracts, 1,837 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 boundaries
Authoritative county and administrative geography — the boundaries every lead is placed and counted within.
Enrichment APIs
Google Places & Solar (verified contacts and roof suitability), Eircode parsing, and our quantity-surveyor value model.
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 a dozen registers 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, a verified contact, a quantity-surveyor value estimate, solar/roof suitability, and the statutory zoning.
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.
Core sources refreshed every week

Live construction leads
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.
