Joist
Construction intelligence for UK trades.
Joist scrapes council planning portals every morning and puts the most relevant applications on your screen before your competitors pick up the phone. No manual searching. No missed leads.
What you get
Priority leads, sorted to the top
Every application is checked against a list of high-value keywords — extensions, loft conversions, new builds, commercial work. Matches are flagged as priority and surface first, every time.
Document availability at a glance
Each card shows whether full plans, location plans, or no documents have been submitted. Know before you visit whether the job is worth quoting.
Fresh data every morning
The planning portal is scraped daily at 06:00 UTC. New applications are marked NEW so you see exactly what came in overnight.
