Real Estate & Construction Data
We go through every permit, valuation, deed, sale, licence, zoning rule, appeal and contract filed across 1,800+ municipalities in Canada and the US, get them all speaking the same language, and turn them into answers about a property, a project, or the people behind it.
What We Track
Every one of these is filed by an authority — a city, a county, a province. We collect them where they’re filed and keep them as filed. Nothing here is modelled or estimated.

What We Do With The Data
Every city files the same event under its own label, in its own language. We map all of them onto one set of words, so a question you ask once reaches all of them at the same time.

01
Cities publish quietly and constantly. We go back to each one on its own rhythm and take whatever has changed since last time.
02
A permit, a valuation, an owner and a sale are filed separately, by offices that never speak to each other. We work out which ones are about the same property, the same building, the same person.
03
Then every record is written the same way, whatever city it came from — so one question reaches all of them at once.
And we never throw away what the city actually wrote — their words stay beside ours, on every record.
Coverage
Each of these crosses cities, record types and years at once. They are the kind of thing you can only ask when everything is already in one place, in one language.

Contact
BuiltIQ started as a bet that most public records are usable — just scattered across a few hundred different city and government sites. It’s grown into a data and research company, compiling permits, contract awards, ownership, and licensing records across two countries straight from the source.
Tell us what you’re trying to find out — a property, an owner, a contractor, a market. We’ll put together what we have and send it back as data or a report.
