BuildData: Canadian Building Permits and Construction Data

BuildData provides structured, query-ready access to Canadian construction activity across 60 cities: building permits, business licences, development permits, planning applications, and building inspections. Every record is normalized to a single consistent schema and geocoded, so you can join, filter, and aggregate across all source cities without per-municipality cleanup.

Delivered as a live Snowflake secure share — query it directly with no extracts and no ETL. Datasets included: PERMITS_SAMPLE, LICENCES_SAMPLE, DEVELOPMENT_PERMITS_SAMPLE, PLANNING_APPLICATIONS_SAMPLE, and INSPECTIONS_SAMPLE.

The complete dataset — full history across all 60 cities — is available as a private Snowflake listing. Contact us through this listing to arrange a private share.

Common use cases: construction lead generation, contractor vetting and verification, real estate and land development intelligence, mortgage and insurance underwriting, market sizing, and urban planning research.

Coverage: 60 Canadian cities across Ontario, Quebec, Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Newfoundland and Labrador. Source data is refreshed daily to weekly depending on the municipality.
