General Contracting
General Contracting: Identify the owner, developer, design team or GC while scope and procurement strategy are still being formed.
See General Contracting buying windows → WHAT THE SIGNAL MEANS
A commercial permit is an official filing or approval associated with regulated work at a non-residential property or project.
SpendWindow does not assume the event alone proves a purchase. The signal must survive identity, freshness and contradiction checks before it can support a customer-ready opportunity.
EVIDENCE TO LOOK FORMake the change observable
- Municipal building permits
- Trade permits
- Tenant-improvement permits
- Plan-review records
- Official permit status and scope
BUYING-WINDOW TIMINGKnow where the decision is
- Early: application or plan review reveals intent
- Active: permit issuance and construction mobilization
- Urgent: final inspections and occupancy
FALSE-POSITIVE CONTROLKnow what the evidence does not prove
- Applicant, owner and contractor are not automatically the occupant.
- A permit can be stale, canceled or superseded.
- Official records prove the filing—not a vendor award or approved budget.

The raw event is not the finished product.
SpendWindow connects the event to business identity, evidence quality, timing, service fit and a recommended next move. Ambiguous evidence stays ambiguous rather than being promoted into a confident sales claim.
