Next-Trade Packs — Boston permit lists for the trades that get hired after the builder

How this works / why next trades

Most permits are pulled by the contractor who already won that job. Those jobs are not open to the same trade.
The work that comes after the permit is often not hired yet. Examples are finishing trades after a deck, or flooring after a remodel.
Each pack is sorted by permit type and tagged with likely next trades, so you can see which properties fit your trade.
You reach homeowners by door-knock or direct mail. The files do not include contact details.

What's NOT in it

No homeowner names.
No phone numbers.
No email addresses.
These are public records. You could pull them from the city yourself. We do the sorting, de-duplication, and tagging.
The “likely next trades” tag is our label based on permit type. It is not a confirmed need at that address.
