Scope, filters and timing for Basement Underpinning
Matches come from published permit wording and are narrowed by supported filters. Read application, issue, source-update and observed-movement dates separately; they are not construction start dates, bid dates or buying windows. The reported estimate is the City's figure, not a budget or contract value. Use the available date filters and list sorts to order your research, not a personalized ranking or score.

AI research, contacts and provider charges
Explicitly requested AI-assisted research uses source-linked public-web information about a project, relevant business or professional person. Nothing runs automatically. Each research run you request incurs provider charges; availability depends on eligible account access, lead eligibility and provider configuration and controls. Findings remain unverified until checked, may be partial, and do not become verified project evidence. Check citations and professional role relevance; contact discovery is not guaranteed. No automatic outreach or dedicated Google or LinkedIn scraping is promised.
Private accounts, notifications and reports
Saving new jobs requires current qualified records and eligible signed-in access. Saved jobs, notes and reports are private to your account, including individual logins under shared billing; this is not a shared CRM. Notes do not schedule reminders. Changes to saved records appear as in-app notifications for eligible signed-in members, with no email, push or real-time monitoring promise. Reports require eligible membership: select projects, draft, review and confirm before downloading a PDF. Scheduled source checks can lag or fail; inspect each record's source date.

Source checks and qualification before outreach
- Scheduled City-source ingestion
- PermitClue is designed to ingest published City of Toronto records on a daily schedule. Source checks can lag or fail, so read the source date rather than assuming the record is current.
- Qualify before outreach
- Build a focused trade prospect list, not a list of confirmed buyers. A match does not confirm a buyer or purchase. Business contacts are shown as verified only when explicitly published and verified; unverified research is labelled separately. Outreach remains your team's decision.
