Stamptd tracks every new construction permit filed in Atlanta and Fulton County daily and turns it into a lead -- complete with the property owner and general contractor's contact info already attached. A construction project becomes public record the moment its building permit is filed, well before it shows up in a trade publication or goes out to bid. This guide covers what a new-construction permit filing actually looks like in Atlanta, how it differs from a renovation or remodel permit, and how Stamptd surfaces it as an early lead the same day it's filed.
The City of Atlanta's permitting system distinguishes new construction from other building work at the record-type level. A new single-family home, for instance, is typically filed and labeled distinctly from an addition, renovation, or alteration to an existing structure -- the record type itself is often the fastest signal that a project is ground-up new construction rather than remodel work, before ever reading the project description.
Atlanta's permitting system separates residential and commercial building activity, and each carries its own typical review pattern -- a new single-family home moves through a different track than a new commercial structure or multi-family building. For anyone sourcing leads by trade, this distinction matters early: a commercial ground-up project usually means a general contractor and a longer bid process with more subcontractor slots, while a new single-family home may already have its trades largely decided by the time the permit is filed.
A new-construction filing in Atlanta typically includes the property address, an estimated construction value, the applicant's contact information, and the property owner of record. Larger commercial ground-up projects are more likely to have detailed application information attached, including the general contractor on record -- valuable for a subcontractor trying to reach the right person before the project is fully staffed.
New construction represents the largest, longest-duration jobs in any given permit feed -- and the ones with the most subcontractor slots still open at the point a permit is filed. A ground-up commercial project or new subdivision often hasn't finalized every trade yet when the permit is first issued, which makes the earliest days after filing the highest-value window for outreach, before a project is fully staffed or already circulating among a smaller group of known bidders.
Stamptd tracks Atlanta's permit feed daily and separates new construction into its own filterable category -- distinct from remodels, additions, and other building work -- split further by residential and commercial. Each new-construction lead includes the property owner and, where available, the general contractor's contact information already attached, so a subcontractor or supplier can reach out the same day a project is filed rather than waiting for it to surface through word of mouth.
New construction permits filed with the City of Atlanta are public record, searchable through the city's own Accela-based permitting portal. Stamptd tracks this same feed daily and separates new construction into its own category, with the property owner and general contractor's contact info already attached to each lead.
Atlanta's permit records typically distinguish new construction from renovation or addition work at the record-type level, so the record type itself is usually the fastest way to tell the two apart, without needing to read the full project description.
Larger commercial new-construction permits are more likely to have a general contractor listed on the application than smaller residential filings, though this varies by project. Stamptd surfaces this contractor information directly alongside each new-construction lead when it's available on the permit record.
The window shortly after a permit is first filed is generally when the most subcontractor trade slots are still open, before a project is fully staffed. Stamptd's feed updates daily specifically to make that early window reachable rather than finding out about a project after it's already circulating among other bidders.
Yes. The City of Atlanta processes residential and commercial new construction separately, and they typically follow different review timelines. Stamptd's new-construction category is split the same way, so leads can be filtered by residential or commercial specifically.
