Verified construction intelligence built from real permit, property, contractor, and project activity.
Gryd by BuildZoom Data turns fragmented construction records into structured data teams can use to understand property changes, contractor activity, project movement, market trends, and documented construction intent.
Use Gryd to see what was permitted, where it happened, who was involved, and when records changed.
Construction activity is one of the clearest signals for how properties, markets, and contractors are changing.
Construction intelligence is one of the clearest ways to understand how properties, contractors, projects, and markets are changing. A roof replacement can change property risk. A new permit can point to market demand. Contractor activity can show which businesses are active. Project movement can reveal where construction is growing, slowing, or shifting.
The challenge is that this data is scattered across local sources, inconsistent formats, and separate systems. Gryd brings those records together so teams can use constr uction activity as a practical business signal.
Gryd combines multiple data types to help teams understand construction activity.
Building permit data
Permit records tied to new construction, renovation, repair, roofing, solar, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, additions, and other permitted work.
/
Property data
Property-level context connected to permit history, project activity, improvement signals, and location details.
/
Contractor data
Contractor records, permit activity, project history, trade patterns, project value, and license status.
/
Project activity
Project descriptions, permit status, timing, job value, location, contractor involvement, and related construction details where available.
/
Raw construction records need to be collected, cleaned, matched, and structured before teams can use them.
Raw construction records are not enough. They need to be collected, cleaned, matched, normalized, and structured before teams can use them at scale.
Gryd is not just a collection of public records — it turns raw construction activity data into verified intelligence.
Intent
Verified signals that show documented activity, not just predicted demand or incomplete assumptions.
Insights
Patterns that help teams understand risk, growth, market activity, contractor behavior, and property changes.
Intelligence
Clean, structured construction data built from permit, property, contractor, and jurisdiction records.
Construction signals your systems can use.
Past and recent permit activity tied to properties, contractors, project types, dates, statuses, and jurisdictions.
