Scout Rep is the AI sales rep for contractors and supplier reps. It reads every permit pulled in your territory, ranks the hot projects against what you sell, drafts the pitch, and books the calls. You close them.
From permit pulled to deal closed, Scout runs the loop. You stay in the truck.
Tell Scout your work email. It researches your company, infers your trade or product lines, your region, your project size. Then asks only what it couldn't find. Setup in five texts.
Every morning before you're on site, Scout has already pulled the day's permits, scored them against your trade and territory, and ranked the top three. One text. One screen. Specific.
Scout writes the SMS and the email in your voice, with the specific details that matter. Tap the link, your phone opens with the message pre-filled, addressed to the builder who pulled the permit. Send it. Done. (Permits are pulled by builders, devs, and GCs ~80% of the time. Outreach is peer-to-peer trade conversation, not consumer marketing.)
Scout schedules the call on your calendar, preps you with a brief beforehand, and checks in after. When you win one, Scout knows what kind of lead worked, and ranks the next ones smarter.
One thread, every kind of message. Whether you swing the hammer or supply the site, it all lands as a text you can act on in ten seconds.
Every weekday at 7:30, before you're on site or on the road: the day's best leads, ranked with reasons. Slow days get flagged honestly, never padded.
Scout isn't a form to fill out. Snap the site, talk while you drive, forward the quote. It reads all of it and does something useful with it.
Send a site photo and Scout knows what stage the build is at. Send a business card and it saves the builder. Send a competitor's quote and it helps you beat it.
Driving between sites? Hold the mic button and talk. “Quoted the Euston job at 48K, follow up Friday.” Scout hears it, logs it, sets the reminder.
PDFs, spreadsheets, contracts. Scout reads them, ties them to the right job, and flags what matters, like a payment clause worth a second look.
Scout runs your day from the text thread. Behind it sits BuildMapper: the live permit map, your pipeline board, and every project file. Link them and the full app is there whenever you want a screen, on the web or in the mobile app.
Built for the way contractors and supplier reps actually work. Over text, on the move, with one hand free.
Reads every building permit pulled in your territory, every day. Across BC, Alberta, expanding US cities.
Ranks leads against your trade or product line, radius, job size, and timing window. Same brain that powers BuildMapper.
Writes the SMS and email in your voice. Personalized to the lead. Ready to send with one tap.
Schedules calls and site visits on your Google Calendar. Sends a pre-call brief 30 minutes before.
New, pitched, in convo, quoted, won, lost. Every lead, every stage. Tap a text link to see the full board.
CC Scout when you send the pitch. It sees the thread, catches the builder's reply, and nudges the follow-up at the right time.
Link your BuildMapper account and your CRM board updates itself. Tell one, the other knows.
Every closed deal sharpens your score. Scout learns what kind of leads actually become jobs for you.
7:30 AM weekday brief, replies in seconds during work hours, weekly summary on Friday. Never sleeps.
Ask “what's hot today?” and get one answer, not a list. Scout weighs everything you have going and names the move.
Every name, number, note and voice memo you send gets filed. Ask “what did I say about the Maple Ridge GC?” months later.
Not closing? Scout finds where your funnel leaks, asks the right question, and will role-play the buyer call with you.
Never heard of BuildMapper? It's the platform builders and trades use to see every new construction project: who's building, where, and what it's worth. Scout runs on that data. Link the two and you get the full app experience on top of the text thread.
BuildMapper tracks 80K+ live permits with project value, build stage, and the builder behind each one. That's the well Scout draws from every morning.
Text Scout “won the Pinewood job” and the lead moves to Won on your BuildMapper board in seconds. Move a card in the app and Scout knows next time you talk.
Describe the job and Scout builds a real branded quote in your BuildMapper account, with a client link and online acceptance. Contracts with digital signing work the same way.
Already on BuildMapper? Text Scout “connect my BuildMapper” or tap Connect inside the app. Not on it? Scout works great on its own, no BuildMapper account needed.
One Scout, two kinds of hunter. Contractors get jobs matched to their trades. Supplier reps get projects entering their spec window. Same brief, same pitch drafts, same pipeline.
Multi-trade outfits get one profile with multiple service lines. Roofing + siding? Framing + structural? Scored separately, briefed together.
Scout catches projects at the spec stage and tells you when the take-off window opens, before the GC has picked a supplier. Cover multiple territories from one thread.
What contractors and supplier reps get back from a day with Scout in their pocket.
Illustrative voices, drawn from real early-access sessions and anonymized. Named stories land here as the cohort grows.
The 7:30 text is the first thing I read. It found a $680K framing job two blocks from another site we were already on.
I told it I won a job while driving. By the time I parked, the board was updated and it had two follow-ups queued.
It flags projects at spec stage before the GC has picked suppliers. My take-off list writes itself now.
Permits are public. Everyone in your city sees the same feed. What nobody else has is your relationships, and Scout turns them into ranked, warm leads. For contractors that means the builders you've worked with and the trades you work alongside. For supplier reps, your account list becomes a watchlist.
Add the builders, GCs and developers you've actually worked with. Scout cross-references your list against every new permit in your territory. When one of yours pulls, it jumps to the top of your brief, flagged warm, with the history Scout already knows about you two.
Every residential build runs 20-25 trades. Invite the colleagues you actually work alongside. When one of them wins a job, every other trade they need surfaces for the connected crew, warm, with a real referral path. The cluster grows tighter the more of you are in.
Adding contacts isn't homework. It's how Scout gets sharper for you specifically. Each layer multiplies the next.
Text Scout your builder list. Paste, type, or share a vCard. We'll cross-reference it against today's permits and send the matches before your morning coffee.
No. Scout lives in your text thread, SMS or WhatsApp, and that's enough to run everything. When you do want screens, link your BuildMapper account: the live map, your pipeline board, and every project file, on the web or in the BuildMapper mobile app.
Building permits, refreshed daily through BuildMapper's permit intelligence across BC, Alberta, and expanding US cities, plus your own network: builders you watch, colleagues you work with, and jobs you tell Scout about directly.
BuildMapper is the platform builders and trades use to see every new construction project in their area on a live map: the permit, the project value, and the builder behind it. Scout is built by the same team on the same data. You don't need a BuildMapper account to use Scout, but if you have one, linking them unlocks the full app experience.
Yes, by design. Permits are public records, and roughly 80% are pulled by builders, developers and GCs, so outreach is business-to-business trade conversation. Scout drafts the message; you send it from your own phone or email. Built TCPA and CASL compliant. Details on our compliance page.
You start with a free trial, no card required. After that, Scout Starter is $99/month. Want the full stack with a BuildMapper account included? See pricing.
25+ trades, from framing and roofing to electrical, plumbing, tile and landscaping. Multi-trade outfits get one profile with multiple service lines, and leads scored for each.
Yes. Tell Scout what you supply, lumber, windows, concrete, cladding, equipment, and it hunts for projects entering your spec window instead of your trade window. Same brief, same pitch drafts, same pipeline, tuned to when GCs pick suppliers.
That's the whole point. Type, send a voice note from the truck, snap a photo of the site or a business card, forward a quote PDF. Scout figures out what it is and does something useful with it.
Scout Rep is built for serious contractors and supplier reps. Text the number to get started.
