The problem

You're losing jobs you never knew existed.

Every Austin permit is public. That doesn't mean it's easy to find — or easy to act on in time.

×

The old way · hunting by hand

  • ×Finding out about a job three weeks after it was filed.
  • ×Scrolling the city portal every morning, hoping something good shows up.
  • ×Reading 400 permits to find the 3 that actually match your trade.
  • ×Calling GCs who already signed a sub two weeks ago.

With Bidro · done for you

  • New permits land in your feed within 60 seconds of filing.
  • AI reads every permit — scope, budget, and trade — so you don't have to.
  • Only the permits that match your trade and your territory.
  • GC phone number pre-dialed, with a 15-second opener script.
How it works

Three steps between a filing and your first call.

No scraping setup. No city portal logins. No AI prompts to write. You just open the app.

01

A GC files a permit with the City of Austin.

Commercial buildout, solar retrofit, kitchen remodel — every filing becomes public the second it hits the city system.

City of Austin 2024-BP-47721
02

AI reads the scope, sizes the budget, matches your trade.

Within 60 seconds, Bidro parses the filing, pulls the GC contact, estimates the value, and checks it against your territory and job size filters.

Your feed lights up. You call the GC first.

One keystroke to pursue. GC's direct line, a ready opener, and a scope summary — so you're on the phone while competitors are still scrolling their inbox.

What Bidro does

Permits, the minute they're filed.

Every new Austin construction permit lands in your feed with the scope summarized, the budget sized, and a match to your trade and territory — before your competitor opens their email.

Before your competitor opens their email.

New permits land in your feed within a minute of filing — not the next morning, not the following week. The first call wins the job.

What operators are saying

Reps who used to lose to the first caller — now are the first caller.

"The GC phone number alone is worth it. We were paying a VA to dig those up. Now it's on the card."
"I open Bidro at 7am with my coffee. Three calls in, I've talked to more GCs than I did all last week."
Common questions

Straight answers.

If it's not covered here, email sales@gobidro.com.

Does Bidro really get permits within 60 seconds?+
Yes. We watch the City of Austin permit feed continuously. The moment a filing hits the public record, we pull it, our AI summarizes the scope and sizes the budget, and it appears in your feed — typically inside a minute. No batched overnight jobs, no weekly syncs.
What if I'm not in Austin?+
Right now Bidro covers Austin and Central Texas only. We're deliberate about that — the value comes from how deeply we know one market. If you want coverage in another metro, email the waitlist and we'll tell you when we open it up.
Do I need to know how to read permits?+
No. That's the whole point. Every permit comes with a plain-English scope summary (what's getting built, by whom, for roughly how much). If you can read a text message, you can work a Bidro feed.
Can I cancel anytime?+
One click, in your account settings. No calls with a retention rep, no "are you sure?" loops. Your 14-day trial doesn't require a credit card, so you can leave before we ever bill you.
Is the data reliable?+
The source is public City of Austin permit data — same data every GC and sub is legally required to file. On top of that, our AI adds scope summaries, budget estimates, and trade matching, each with a confidence score so you know when to trust it and when to double-check.
What trades do you cover?+
41 trades across residential and commercial work — including HVAC, plumbing, electrical, solar, roofing, mechanical, structural, site work, excavation, concrete, framing, drywall, paint, flooring, glazing, sprinklers, and more. If it pulls a permit in Austin, we index it.
How is this different from BuildZoom, PlanetBids, or just searching the city portal?+
Speed, AI, and calling tools. BuildZoom is a marketplace for homeowners. PlanetBids is RFP software. The city portal is free but unusable at scale — 400 permits a day, no scope summaries, no trade matching, no GC contact. Bidro is the only tool built for a sales rep whose job is to call the GC before anyone else does.

One job pays for the year.
