Know the week their plans are granted.
PlanLead watches every planning portal across Sussex and Kent. When a homeowner gets approval you're first to know — with an AI letter that's read their drawings, a cost estimate on the spot, and a quote you can send from your van.
No card needed. From £79/mo per area.
Find it. Write it. Price it. Win it.
Every tool you need from the moment a decision lands to a signed quote — in one place, built for builders on a phone.
Find the lead
Every approved application in your area the same day it lands. Filtered to your specialism, scored by value. Decision in hand — builder not yet chosen.
Write the letter
Our AI reads the actual planning drawings and writes a letter from the detail — "your 4.5m rear extension with bifolds" — not a template. You edit, we post it first-class.
Know the number
One tap turns the plans into an indicative cost range — elemental breakdown, current South East rates. Qualify the lead in seconds before you've left the van.
Win with a quote
After your site visit, turn measurements into a professional quote in minutes. Your rates, AI structures the scope and writes the wording. Send it the same day. (Coming soon)
Answer on the spot
Ask any UK building regulations question and get the answer pulled from the current Approved Documents — section cited, four nations covered. Show your working before they ask Google.
Set up in three minutes.
Claim your territory
Pick your job type and up to 3 council areas. Max 3 builders per trade per area. Once it's full, it's full — greyed out for everyone else.
Get leads as they land
Every approved application matching your specialism and areas lands in your feed the same day. Hot leads scored first, no scrolling required.
Write, price, win
One click for an AI letter from the actual drawings. One tap for a cost estimate. After the site visit, build and send a professional quote — all before a competitor has picked up the phone.
Your patch isn't a free-for-all.
Other platforms sell the same lead to everyone. We cap each trade at 3 seats per council area — so a granted extension in Lewes isn't getting six identical letters by Friday. Taken areas are greyed out. First come, first patch.
Every lead also has a hard contact cap — once 3 builders have written through PlanLead, it closes. Speed is the whole point.
Check availability in your area →One price. One patch. No sharing.
Be one of only 3 builders in your area for your trade. Everything included — no per-letter charges, no usage caps during early access.
