Planning-linked evidence. Commercial context.

Development and Market Intelligence for Scotland Built From Public Evidence

Earlier visibility. Better-informed decisions.

Understand what is changing before it becomes obvious

Planning applications and other public records can reveal proposed openings, conversions, refurbishments, developments and changes in how properties may be used.

The information is public, but it is fragmented, technical and time-consuming to interpret. Project Intel monitors that evidence, selects what appears commercially relevant and explains why it may deserve attention.

Hospitality operators and hotel groups

Monitor proposed openings, conversions, refurbishments and other premises activity that may affect your locations, competitors or expansion plans.

Investors, developers and property teams

Identify areas, assets and proposed changes that may warrant further commercial investigation or monitoring.

Architects, planners and consultants

Gain earlier awareness of relevant schemes, changing properties and organisations that may require professional support.

Contractors and specialist trades

Focus business development on planning-linked projects that fit your geography, trade and preferred type of work.

Suppliers and service providers

Understand where future project demand may emerge and make it easier for relevant organisations to find your business.

What could the evidence help you understand?

Intelligence built around commercial questions

Which hospitality properties are showing signs of proposed change?

Where are refurbishment, conversion or development proposals concentrating?

Which planning records may be relevant to a particular trade or service?

What local activity may affect an operator, investor or property strategy?

Which projects deserve monitoring as stronger evidence emerges?

What does the available evidence suggest about change in a place or sector?

Which public records support a business-development or investment conversation?

The evidence does not make the decision for you. It gives you a clearer place to start.

How Project Intel works

1. Monitor

We monitor planning-linked and other relevant public evidence across Scottish markets.

2. Select

We identify records that appear relevant to a defined place, sector, trade or commercial question.

3. Verify

We retain links to the underlying public sources and distinguish evidence from interpretation.

4. Interpret

We explain what the available evidence may mean, what remains uncertain and why a record may deserve attention.

5. Track

Where useful, we continue monitoring the project, property or market for stronger evidence and material changes.

Public evidence, properly interpreted

Why Project Intel is different

Project Intel is built around continuous evidence review rather than generic lead lists or one-off searches.

It is not a forecasting service, private deal-room database or guarantee that a project will proceed. It is an earlier, more structured view of publicly evidenced change.

Edinburgh Building Services Directory

The Project Intel Directory brings together reviewed public profiles for contractors, fit-out partners, M&E specialists and other building-services suppliers serving Edinburgh and the Central Belt.

The directory is a useful starting point for operators, property teams and project professionals looking for relevant published business information. It does not rank suppliers, confirm availability or replace project-specific due diligence.
