Hi E…, I saw the 48-unit build on E 7th St in the Arts District is at foundation. We build and install millwork for multi-unit projects across Los Angeles…
Outreach

Hi Mark, saw you pulled the permit for the addition at 42 Old Forest Hill Rd. We handle HVAC on custom builds like that all over the west end. Happy to swing by if it helps.
Yeah actually, call me tomorrow morning?
Most people in construction barely get contacted on LinkedIn, so when a real note about their project shows up, they actually read it. It's wide open, and hardly anyone in the trades is using it well.

9:14 AMFlooring for 42 Old Forest Hill Rd: quick note
From: you@yourcompany.com · To: Mark @ Northline Builds
Hi Mark, saw the addition permit went through last week. We install engineered hardwood on jobs exactly like this across Forest Hill. Happy to send a couple recent projects if useful.
Every note talks about their exact project: what it is, where it is, and why you're the right trade for it. That's not a cold email. It's someone who clearly did their homework reaching out at the right time.

Customers
Trades that stopped chasing permits
"Most of our week used to go into figuring out who to call. Builtie just gave us the answer: real projects, real people, and a lot of conversations we honestly never thought we would get into. AI is taking on more, automation has made outreach almost instant, and every time I log in something is sharper than the week before. My team finally has a tool that works for them, not another database they have to clean up after."
Sales team
"Builtie automated our entire outreach operation end to end. Prospect discovery, personalized messaging, follow-ups, and the CRM stays updated without anyone touching it. Colin and Sara walk in every morning to fresh conversations with builders and designers who are already working on real projects. We went from running outreach to reviewing results, and our pipeline has never looked healthier."

Questions
Before you start
Five short answers.
What counts as a project?
Every project you open counts as one, whichever way you open it: from a building permit or from a Coming up planning file. It comes with the builder or general contractor, the decision maker and how to reach them. Browsing the feed, the map and the filters is free, and a project you have opened stays open, so going back to it costs nothing.
Why is a card needed for a free trial?
The card lets the trial turn into your plan without a gap if you stay. Nothing is charged during the 7 days. When they end, the first month is charged at $79 for Starter or $99 for Growth, then $179 or $199 a month. Cancel in the app before the trial ends and you pay nothing.
What happens when no contact is found?
The project goes back into your allowance by itself when the people search finds no one or the project has no builder on record. You can also report a project from its page and our team checks it by hand.
Does Starter send messages for me?
No. Starter gives you the builder and the decision maker with their contact details, and you send the messages yourself. Growth sends LinkedIn and email outreach from your own accounts. Custom is run for you by our team.
How do I cancel?
In the app, from the billing page, whenever you like. During the trial you pay nothing. After it you keep access until the end of the period you have paid for. Plans are month to month, with no contract.
