The Problem with How Builders Find Work Today

The Old Way

By the time a construction project appears on Contracts Finder, the Chest, or any other bidding portal, it has already attracted a dozen competing quotes. You are bidding on price alone with no first-mover advantage and no relationship built.

The LeadLinka Way

Planning approval is the earliest public signal that a project is definitely happening. LeadLinka surfaces those approvals the moment they are posted, giving you the chance to make contact before any tender is ever issued.

How It Works

Three steps from planning approval to a warm conversation with a potential client.

1

We monitor every UK council planning portal

LeadLinka automatically ingests approved planning applications from all 400+ local authorities across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland every day.

2

Filter by location, project type, and size

Set your area of operation, the types of work you want (new builds, extensions, commercial, industrial) and let the platform surface only the projects that match your trade.

3

Reach out before the tender is written

Contact the applicant directly, before a procurement process starts. At this stage you are having a conversation, not competing on a spreadsheet.

Common Questions

How fresh is the planning data?

LeadLinka ingests new planning decisions on a rolling daily basis. Most approved applications appear in the platform within 24 hours of being published by the council.

Does it cover my area?

We cover all 400+ local planning authorities across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. If you work anywhere in the UK, your area is covered.

How is this different from Contracts Finder or the Chest?

Those platforms only show projects already in procurement, where a tender has been formally issued. LeadLinka shows you projects at the planning approval stage, weeks or months earlier, before any formal procurement process starts.

Can I try it before committing?

Yes. You can register and browse the platform with a free account. Paid plans unlock full access to the lead feed, filters, and saved projects.
