How Builders Win Extension Jobs From
Every approved planning application is a job waiting to be quoted. JobFilter reads planning approvals across 400+ councils and sends you extension, loft, and new-build leads the moment they're approved. You're on the driveway before the competition knows the job exists.
NO CHASING
NO COMPETING
REAL UK LEADS
STAY IN CONTROL
THE PROBLEM BUILDERS FACE
YOU'RE WAITING FOR WORK INSTEAD OF FINDING IT.
YOU HEAR ABOUT JOBS TOO LATE
By the time a planning-approved extension hits MyBuilder, the homeowner has already had 3 quotes. The first builder on site wins 70% of the time.
QUIET WEEKS KILL YOUR CASHFLOW
You finish a big job and your diary is empty. You're not short of skill — you're short of pipeline. Planning data shows work coming 2-3 months out.
DIRECTORIES DON'T SHOW PROJECT SCOPE
A "builder needed" listing tells you nothing. Is it a £5k patch job or a £80k extension? JobFilter shows estimated value before you pick up the phone.
YOU'RE COMPETING WITH COWBOYS
Shared lead platforms let anyone with a van and a ladder quote. No vetting, no quality bar. You lose jobs to people who can't do the work properly.

HOW IT WORKS FOR BUILDERS
THREE STEPS. REAL JOBS. NO BULLSHIT.
Enter your postcode and trade
Tell us where you build. We scan planning approvals, council contracts, and energy signals within your working radius.
Extension and new-build leads get flagged
Approved applications for extensions, loft conversions, new builds, and commercial fit-outs — scored by value and urgency.
Gold leads fire to your phone
Planning approved for a two-storey extension in your patch? You get a WhatsApp alert with the address, estimated value, and source link.
WHAT A BUILDERS LEAD LOOKS LIKE
THIS IS WHAT HITS YOUR SCREEN BEFORE ANYONE ELSE SEES IT.
Not a form submission. Not a shared lead. An official signal — scored, filtered, and sent to you because it matches your trade.
GOLD LEAD
Two-storey rear extension + loft conversion
WHERE THE JOBS COME FROM
THREE SOURCES. BUILDERS-SPECIFIC SIGNALS.
Planning applications
Approved extensions, loft conversions, and new builds — the biggest source of building work in the UK. We scan 400+ councils and flag jobs in your patch.
Energy signals
Properties flagged for energy upgrades often need structural work, insulation, and full renovations. Cross-referenced with planning approvals for higher-intent leads.
Council contracts
School refurbishments, social housing projects, council building maintenance — public tenders with named buyers, values, and deadlines.
WHATSAPP BODYGUARD
GOLD LEADS HIT YOUR PHONE. NOT YOUR INBOX. NOT A DASHBOARD.
When a job scores Gold for your trade, it fires to WhatsApp within minutes. You're on the tools — you don't need another app to check.
