European Construction Opportunity Intelligence

Discover and qualify construction opportunities from public permit data across Europe.

The Actor analyzes construction permit records, classifies project types, identifies commercial opportunities, and assigns construction and lead quality scores to help contractors, suppliers, manufacturers, developers, and construction service providers find relevant projects faster.

France is currently supported, with additional European countries planned.

What this Actor does

European Construction Opportunity Intelligence transforms public construction permit data into structured commercial leads.

Instead of returning only raw permit records, the Actor enriches each project with:

• Project classification
• Residential and non-residential identification
• Non-residential project subtype detection
• Mixed-project component detection
• Construction opportunity scoring
• Lead quality scoring
• Commercial opportunity detection
• Applicant information
• Permit information
• Project size indicators
• Source transparency

The result is a dataset designed to help identify construction projects that may represent relevant business opportunities.

Currently supported countries

France

France is currently the first supported country.

The Actor uses construction permit information from available French public data sources.

Depending on availability and location, the Actor can use:

• Aucadastre
• Official French SDES DiDo / Sitadel data as fallback

Additional European countries can be added in future versions without changing the core purpose of the Actor.

Key features

Residential and non-residential projects

The Actor distinguishes between:

• Residential
• Non-residential

This allows users to focus on the type of construction project most relevant to their business.

---

Non-residential project classification

Non-residential projects can be classified into the following subtypes:

• Office
• Retail / Services
• Hotel / Accommodation
• Industrial
• Warehouse
• Public Facility
• Agricultural
• Mixed Non-residential
• Other Non-residential

---

Mixed project detection

Projects may contain more than one non-residential use.

When multiple relevant components are detected, the Actor can return them through:

• project_components
• project_components_text

This makes it easier to understand complex projects such as developments combining offices, retail, accommodation, industrial space, or other uses.

---

Commercial opportunity detection

The Actor analyzes each project and identifies potential commercial opportunities.

Supported opportunity types include:

• General contractor
• Building materials
• Electrical
• Plumbing
• HVAC
• Windows
• Insulation
• Roofing
• Property development services
• Construction suppliers

Each result can include:

• matched_opportunity
• matched_opportunity_score
• top_opportunity
• top_opportunity_score
• opportunity_types
• opportunities

This helps users identify projects that may be especially relevant to their products or services.

---

Construction Opportunity Score

Each qualified project receives a:

construction_opportunity_score

The score ranges from:

0 to 100

Higher scores indicate projects with stronger construction opportunity signals based on available permit and project information.

The Actor also provides:

construction_reasons

This field contains the main factors that contributed to the construction opportunity score.

---

Lead Quality Score

Each result also receives a:

lead_quality_score

The score ranges from:

0 to 100

This score evaluates the completeness and commercial usability of the available record.

The Actor also returns:

lead_quality_level

Higher lead quality generally indicates that more useful identifying or project information is available.

The field:

missing_fields

can be used to understand which important pieces of information were unavailable for a record.
