FAQ
A clear overview of what Project Intel does, who it helps, and why planning-linked opportunities can be more useful than generic lead lists.
Most lead lists are broad and late. Project Intel is narrower, earlier, and keeps the planning source visible so your team can judge relevance quickly.
The strongest fit is commercial change-of-use, fit-out, hospitality, ventilation, kitchen, and specialist trade work where planning activity signals likely demand.
Builders, fit-out contractors, estimators, commercial managers, and specialist trades that want a better view of upcoming work before it becomes crowded.
The best starting point is usually one geography, one contractor profile, and one project type so the output stays commercially relevant from the start.
No. Project Intel can start with a small, focused pilot around one geography, trade, or type of project so you can judge the quality before committing further.
Yes. Project Intel is not just an automated feed. If you get in touch, you can speak directly with me about your market, the kind of work you want to find, and whether the approach fits your business.
Yes, but selectively. The focus is on larger extensions, conversions, and higher-value residential work where planning signals suggest real contractor demand, rather than small low-value jobs.
About Project Intel
Project Intel is built to make earlier commercial opportunities easier to find, but it is not just automation.
If you send an enquiry through the site, I will review it personally, give you a call, and discuss the kind of work you want to see earlier. That might mean builders’ work, fit-out opportunities, hospitality projects, kitchen-related work, or a specific region you want to focus on.
The point is to make the output useful in the real world, not just technically interesting.
