For trades, installers & suppliers
The old way of finding work is waiting for it.
Word of mouth, driving past sites, checking 31 council portals by hand, or paying for a lead you share with three rivals. Every one of them puts you last. PlanningLeads shows you every project in your county at the planning and commencement stage, first, filtered to your trade and sized by what the work is worth to you.
The old way
Four ways to always be last
None of these are wrong, exactly. They're just reactive. They all wait for the work to surface before you hear about it, and by then someone else usually has too.
Waiting for the phone to ring
Repeat customers and referrals are lovely, until a quiet month. You only win the work that happens to come to you.
Driving past sites
By the time there's a hoarding up, the main contractor is appointed and the trade packages are being priced. You're already late.
Checking council portals by hand
Thirty-one separate planning registers, each a different website, none of them talking to each other. Hours a week to see a fraction of it.
Buying reactive leads
A homeowner's one job, sold to three or four of you at once. You pay to compete, on price, against the same people every time.
The lead-list trap
Buying leads is renting someone else’s demand
A lead site sells you a homeowner who already knows they want the work done. That sounds good until you notice the pattern. It is a race to the bottom, by design.
Buying shared leads
- The same lead is sold to three or four of you at once
- So you compete on price the moment you call
- Credits expire whether you win or not, so you chase marginal jobs
- The customer who fielded five quotes picks the cheapest
With PlanningLeads
- You see the project, not a resold lead, and nobody else buys the same one
- You reach out first, before it is advertised
- No credits, no clock, no bidding war
- Filtered to your trade and sized by what the work is worth to you
PlanningLeads is not a shared-lead site. We do not sell you one homeowner’s job. We show you the pipeline the job came from, earlier, and we never sell the same project to a rival.
The flip
Stop chasing work. Own the pipeline.
Ireland publishes every planning application, every commencement notice and every public tender. PlanningLeads assembles all of it, from all 31 authorities, and hands you the part that matters to you, first.
See it first, not last
A project shows up when it files for planning or a commencement notice, long before it's advertised. That head start is the whole game.
Filtered to your trade
Solar, retrofit, demolition, groundworks, fit-out, M&E: the pipeline narrowed to the work you actually do, in the counties you cover.
Sized by what it's worth
Each site carries the modelled value of the work to you, not the project cost. Chase the jobs worth chasing.
Never sold to a rival
The pipeline is not a lead you share four ways. You see it, you act, and nobody else bought the same one from us.
How to work it
Here is where the work actually is
Everything below is on the site right now. Start free and follow the pipeline from planning application, to breaking ground, to the operational contracts nobody else is chasing.
Start with your county
Pick your county and see the live project count, the pipeline value and the trade breakdown, straight off the record. Every county has its own page.
Narrow it to your trade
Whatever you're on, there's a pre-filtered view. Solar, retrofit and heat pump, demolition, site services, HVAC and M&E, office fit-out, fire and access, facilities management, and more.
Catch it the week it breaks ground
A commencement notice means building starts within weeks, the strongest buying signal there is. The tracker shows what's actually breaking ground across the State, refreshed weekly.
Go after the bigger work
The projects most trades never hear about early: strategic infrastructure sized by megawatt, the EIA mega-projects that skip the local registers, and public tenders including the below-threshold civils work TED never carries.
The work after the build
Nobody else sells the operational phase. The Compliance Register tracks buildings that must keep fire and access provisions certified for life, and the FM feeds catch a building at handover, before the maintenance contract is signed.
Free tools to use today
No account needed. Size any site's solar and heat-pump potential and the grants that apply, run the numbers on a job, or brush up on the planning terms.
Side by side
The honest comparison
Lead sites give you a customer who wants you now, which has its place. But for the bigger, earlier work, being first beats being one of four.
| The old way | Lead-buying sites | PlanningLeads | |
|---|---|---|---|
| When you hear about the work | After it's started or advertised | When a homeowner posts a job | At planning or commencement, first |
| Who else gets the same thing | Whoever else drove past | Three or four rivals, at once | Nobody, it's the public pipeline, not a resold lead |
| What it costs per job | Hours of your own time | €15 to €125+ per shared lead | From €29/mo for your whole county |
| What you're competing on | Luck and timing | Price, against the same vans | Being first, on bigger work |
| What you actually see | One site at a time | One homeowner's job | Every project in your county, mapped and sized |
