Comparison

# PermitVector vs Construction Monitor

If you're weighing Construction Monitor for Texas markets, here's the honest difference in approach.

## Construction Monitor

national weekly permit database

A broad national permit database going back to 1992, delivered as weekly PDFs or CSVs by email. Single-trade subscriptions start around $94/mo; all-permits runs ~$500/mo. You do the cross-trade mapping by hand, and last week’s data arrives this week.

## PermitVector

daily Texas adjacent-buyer permit feed

Texas-tuned and daily — a permit filed yesterday is in your feed by 6 AM. Every permit is pre-classified by trade and pre-mapped to the adjacent buyer who should act on it, so you spend zero time filtering. No manual cross-referencing required.

Both can have a place in your stack. PermitVector's edge is timing and adjacency across Texas: public-record permits, classified and mapped to the trade that should act, delivered as a daily brief from $199/mo.
