We all know what data can do to the construction industry–but building permit data? That's another story.

In this week's special episode, I am excited to speak with Doug Heady of BuilderBinder, Ryan Buckley of Shovels, and Kat Gordiienko of Builty.Today, we discuss how Doug, Ryan, Kat, and their teams are reinventing how we see building permit data and how these new software technologies can massively impact construction manufacturers, companies, contractors, and consumers.

We delve into the value of scraping and cleaning data and the process of turning a massive raw building permit data set into a one-stop shop directory on anything contractors and projects, and a whole lot more, in just a few clicks of a button.

Are you ready to dive into the world of data?
