A permit list tells you who already won.We tell you who's about to build.
Construction Monitor is a solid nationwide permit list — if you're a supplier selling into every market in the country. But a sold permit is a late signal: by the time it prints, the GC is already chosen. Platineer is built for the Houston contractor who wants to be in the conversation months earlier.

- Every lead carries owner, parcel, and builder context
- Houston-only depth, not a thin national list
- Month-to-month — no annual lock-in, no per-seat fees
- Plan-review pipeline that a permit list never sees

Platineer vs. Construction Monitor
An honest read. Construction Monitor (now part of Hubexo) wins on national breadth for suppliers. Platineer wins on early, local, contextualized leads for the contractor working one metro.

A national list treats Houston like a footnote. We treat it like the whole job.
Platineer reads every plat filing, plan review, and permit across the Houston metro — and ties each one to the owner, the parcel, and the builder history behind it. That's the context a raw permit export can't give you, and it's why local contractors switch.
