Keep relevant elevators & lifts projects in view for months. A dated change gives your supplier sales team a reason to review the evidence and plan the next call.

  1. Find your kind of work

    Start with passenger elevators. Narrow by keyword or scope, area, project or building type, stage, dates and reported estimate.

  2. Save

    Keep only the projects you choose on a private shortlist.

  3. See dated movement

    Source-backed changes to saved records appear with their dates as in-app notifications.

  4. Add private notes

    Log calls and follow-ups. A date typed in a note is text, not a reminder.

  5. Share reviewed reports

    Create a draft, review and confirm it, then export a PDF when you choose.

  6. Request AI research

    Where available, request source-linked project, company, professional-person or contact research. Findings are unverified.

In-app notice on a saved record
Illustrative example only. No real records, counts or contacts. Permit stage does not prove construction progress or an open purchase window.
Scope, filters and timing for Elevators & Lifts

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.

Elevators & Lifts scope: Elevator, escalator and lift wording maps to the niche, then narrows by building type and area.

Elevators & Lifts timing: Dated movement on regulated records helps order research. It confirms no purchase.

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 supplier 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.

Evidence and questions

Evidence limits for Elevators & Lifts

Often visible in regulated permit records. Availability or purchasing is not established.

A permit can match several niches, so counts must not be added together or read as buyers. Coverage is Toronto, not the whole GTA. Read the source-use policy and how permit movement relates to timing. Timing prioritises research; it is not a procurement window.

— qualified permit records

Verified count loads separately when available.

Default niche rules; direct, qualified source-backed matches. A permit can match several niches: do not add these counts together. These are not buyers, bids or purchase requests.

Official City source
Does a new tall building mean an elevator package?

It is inferred. Only named elevators are direct evidence.
