New business leads for flooring, painting and drywall contractors in Portland & Vancouver, WA

Tenant improvements are mostly interior finish work: walls framed and hung, ceilings, paint, flooring and base. Every build-out permit is a space that will need some of that before the new occupant moves in, and every new building needs all of it. The work is usually subcontracted, and the general contractor on the permit is the one who hands it out.

Launch Lookout pulls commercial build-out and new-building permits from Portland Permitting & Development, Clark County and the City of Vancouver every day and maps them around your shop. Each record links to the original permit, where the scope and the applicant are listed.

Build-out permits usually describe the work, such as a new restaurant, an office remodel or a clinic fit-out, and many carry a valuation, so you can judge the size of a job before you call. Finishes come late in a project, so a new permit gives you time to get on the general contractor's bid list before the work is awarded.
