What to know about Hamilton permits

The builder behind a Hamilton project is researched rather than read off the permit, and Hamilton is not yet in the live trade-window counts.
Public work in Hamilton is posted on the City of Hamilton's procurement page. Across the province: Ontario Tenders Portal; bids&tenders and Biddingo. Federal work: CanadaBuys and MERX. Where to find construction bids in Hamilton.
Plans
Builtie's Starter plan is $79 per seat per month (CAD) for 20 projects; Growth is $99 for 50 projects and adds the LinkedIn and email outreach you run yourself. Opening a project spends one credit, and the decision makers, emails, phones and AI call script inside it are included. Your monthly credits reset at each renewal, and extra credit packs are valid for 30 days. The free trial runs 7 days with 10 projects. Custom, where Builtie's team runs the outreach for you, starts from CAD $1,500 a month on top of a Growth seat.
Builtie's deepest coverage is in the Greater Toronto Area, where it started; depth in any city depends on what that municipality publishes. Ask for live sample projects in your own service area before you buy.
