Lead lists › Leads by industry › Leads for building material suppliers
Leads for building material suppliers, distributors and equipment rental
Suppliers win accounts in two moments: when a contractor first gets licensed and is setting up supplier accounts, and when a contractor pulls a permit for a project that needs materials. Contractor license rosters and city building permits capture both.
These lists give you newly licensed contractors by trade and active permits with job values and contractor names.
Why public records work for this
- New contractor licenses (Washington, Oregon, New York, Connecticut) show businesses setting up their first supplier accounts.
- Trade-specific rosters (Texas HVAC and electrical, Oregon electrical and plumbing) match the lines you carry.
- Building permits show which contractors are active right now, with job values and work types.

Frequently asked questions
Can I see how busy a contractor is?
Yes, roughly. Count permits per contractor name in the building permit list over the last 30 to 90 days, in cities that publish contractor names.
Do contractor lists include phone numbers?
Yes for several sources, such as Washington, Oregon CCB, Texas TDLR, New York and NYC DOB, which publish a business phone.
