Construction Leads in Nashville
Nashville publishes a contact on effectively every permit and a construction cost alongside it, which makes it one of the cleanest records on this list to filter by project size. Builtie carries that cost on each Nashville project next to an inferred build stage, so a trade contractor can see a job’s size and whether its package is likely still open, then follows the permit contact through to the named person at the builder or general contractor who buys the work.
The same four steps, whether the buyer is a builder, a designer, an owner or a company you want to acquire.

How much is being permitted
Permits by year in Nashville. 2026 is a partial year counted to September 4, 2026, so its bar is shorter for that reason rather than a slowdown.
Nashville has produced 26,344 permits since January 2024: 9,609 in 2024, 10,041 in 2025 and 6,694 so far in 2026. Counted on September 4, 2026.
What the Nashville record actually carries
The record is the metro government's issued-permits dataset, which carries a contact name and a construction cost on each row. Both fields being reliably present is what allows a trade to sort by value and still have someone to reach at the top of the list.
What a trade contractor should know about this market
- Cost is on the record and usable. Filtering by construction cost works here, which is not true of every city on this list, so a trade with a minimum job size can enforce it.
- Steady volume rather than spikes. Permit counts have held roughly level across recent years, which makes capacity planning more predictable than in a boom-and-bust market.
- A contact on every row. There is no fill-rate gap to work around, so the feed produces a name for every project it returns.
- Metro-wide coverage. The record is published by the metropolitan government, so it spans more than the downtown core.
What Builtie carries in Nashville
Nashville carries the permit history rather than a single snapshot, projects scored against your trade and territory, an inferred build stage so you can tell an open package from one awarded months ago, and the people who award the work traced past applicants and numbered companies to a named person with email, phone and LinkedIn where each can be verified.
When your package is bought
The buying window does not move with the city. Concrete and excavation are committed before the site is visibly dug, framing is booked while the foundation cures, roofing and cabinetry are decided during framing, and painting is awarded while drywall goes up. Our guide to when each trade is decided maps all of them against the five build stages.
Builtie plans start at $79 per month per seat for 20 projects a month, and $99 for 50. Growth adds LinkedIn and email outreach you run from the platform; Starter does not include Outreach. Done-for-you — where Builtie's team runs the content, campaigns and replies for you — is the Custom plan. There is a 7-day free trial with 10 projects.
Which plan fits you?
Starter, $79 per seat per month (CAD). 20 matched projects a month, which is $3.95 for a fully worked project — the decision maker, their verified email, phone and LinkedIn, the site context and the opening script all included in the one credit. Credits reset each month, and you can top up with a credit pack any time. Sourcing that by hand runs about twenty minutes a project, so the plan buys back roughly seven hours a month. Pick it if you already have someone sending the messages and what you are short of is a qualified list. It does not include Outreach.
Growth, $99 per seat per month (CAD). Twenty dollars more buys two and a half times the projects — 50 a month, $1.98 each — plus the entire outreach layer: LinkedIn and email sequences, campaigns, the unified inbox, events and social signals. Anyone opening more than 20 projects a month is better off here on volume alone, before counting the ten to fifteen hours a week that automated follow-up gives back. Pick it if someone on your team will log in and run it.
Done-For-You, the Custom plan, from CAD $1,500 a month. Pick it when the honest answer to “who is going to run this?” is nobody. Builtie's team writes the content, runs your LinkedIn, Instagram and email, answers the comments and DMs, builds and manages the campaigns, A/B tests the messaging, analyzes your followers and your competitors, and hands you the conversations. It sits on top of a Growth seat and is quoted against your trade, territory and channels. See everything Done-For-You covers, or compare all three on the pricing page.

Where does the Nashville permit data come from?
The city's own official open-data service. Builtie reads the record the city publishes rather than a resold copy of it, then adds the history, the scoring, the build stage and the decision makers on top.
Can I filter Nashville projects by size?
Yes. Construction cost is published on the record and is reliably numeric, so a minimum project value can be enforced rather than estimated from the description.
