PlanPost overview

What is PlanPost?

PlanPost is a cloud-based lead generation service built for UK construction businesses, including independent builders, contractors, and tradespeople. The platform monitors local planning authority portals across the UK and delivers targeted alerts when new planning applications are submitted in a user-defined geographic area, giving construction professionals early visibility into upcoming project opportunities before work goes to tender.

PlanPost aggregates planning application data and filters it by location, application type, and project scope, allowing subscribers to focus on the most relevant leads for their trade or specialism. Alerts are delivered directly to users, removing the need to manually check council websites or rely on word-of-mouth referrals. The service is designed for sole traders, small-to-medium construction firms, and specialist subcontractors who need a consistent, low-effort pipeline of local work.

By surfacing planning applications at the earliest stage, PlanPost gives construction businesses a competitive advantage, enabling outreach to homeowners and developers before a project is widely advertised. The cloud-based delivery model requires no software installation and is accessible from any device, making it practical for tradespeople who spend most of their time on-site rather than at a desk.
