Find commercial contracts at the permit,
not the bid.
Tradewake watches building permits, planning applications, RFPs, and CRE listings across one metro and one trade. AI entities score every opportunity 0–100 from Signal to Verified — so you reach the buyer when the project is still open, not after the bid is posted.

Six sources
One metro. Six feeds. Zero directories.
We don’t aggregate national bid boards — those are where the contracts are already gone. Instead, Tradewake reads the upstream signal: every filing a buyer has to make before they ever announce a project.

Why early signal
The window between permit and bid is where the margin lives.
When an owner posts an awarded bid on a national directory, four competitors already know. When a permit is filed, the buyer has a project, a budget, and a timeline — and hasn’t been approached yet.
Pre-bid reach
Reach the decision-maker between filing and award, when the buyer is still working on scope.
Hyperlocal precision
One metro, one trade. No noise from the wrong city, the wrong scope, or the wrong crew size.
Confidence at the top
Verified listings are human-confirmed: real, open, timed, with a known buyer.
Operating model
From raw permit to a verified, named buyer.
- Stage 01
We monitor six feeds, all filtered to DFW exteriors.
Permits, planning, transactions, public RFPs, authority bids, and CRE listings — every source scoped to commercial exterior work in Dallas–Fort Worth so the signal-to-noise ratio stays favorable.
- Stage 02
AI entities tag, score, and rank every opportunity 0–100.
Trade scope, property type, neighborhood, decision-maker, est. contract value band, and project stage are extracted automatically. Each opportunity receives a Signal-to-Verified score across the full feed.
- Stage 03
A human reviewer gates the top tier.
Verified means a real, open, timed opportunity with a known buyer — not a probabilistic guess. Every Verified listing carries a 48-hour no-duplicate warranty.
Tiers
Pro for the AI feed. Verified for the named buyer.
Flat monthly fee. No per-lead charges, no all-trades noise. Cancel monthly — we’re confident the feed sells itself.
