Planning applications almost never say the word “lift”. The lift is a label on a floor plan. We read the drawings, find the job, and send it to one installer per region.
Around 3,320 medium and large planning applications are submitted across the UK every month. We take all of them.
Floor plans, sections and design statements, read for lift work. Scanned drawings are next as OCR comes online.
Every job is checked against the live council portal before it reaches you, with the quote from the document that proves it.
The practice that drew the lift, taken off the drawing title block, with address, company number, directors and contact.
Every general construction-data service indexes the text of an application. That is the one place a lift is never mentioned.
8 in 9 of the lift jobs we find are invisible to a keyword search of application text. The lift is a label on a floor plan, not a word in the description. If your data provider indexes descriptions, it cannot see these.
These are live applications, sent as they appear. Not approvals, not contract awards. You are talking to the architect while the lift is still a box on a drawing and nothing has been specified.
The firm that specifies the lift is named on the drawing. We supply the practice on 87% of jobs and a verified email or phone on 49%. The rest carry firm, address and directors.
Take your patch and every lift job that comes through planning there is sent to you as it appears. While you hold it, we do not sell it to anyone else.

Every job in your region, contacted on your behalf — automated email, LinkedIn, or both, to the architect and the agent while the lift is still being drawn. Sent in your name, replies come straight back to you. You just take the calls.
While you hold a region we do not sell it to anyone else. No bidding against three other firms working off the same list.
Subject to availability. Try a full month of your region at half the rate before you decide whether to carry on.
Every region carries a stated band. Any month that lands below 60% of it is credited in full.
Thirty-day rolling. No contract to sign and nothing to tie you in. Cancel whenever you like.
Your rate is fixed for a year from the day you start, whatever we list at later.
