The API delivers 214,543 records covering planning applications, commencement notices, strategic-infrastructure and energy projects across all 31 Irish local authorities, updated weekly. The platform serves contractors, suppliers, quantity surveyors, proptech companies, utilities and investors with a single REST endpoint for construction and market intelligence data currently unavailable through other Irish data providers. **Market Context and Launch Timing** The SCSI Tender Price Index shows commercial tender prices rising 3% nationally in H1 2026, underscoring the competitive advantage of early, data-led visibility into the construction pipeline. PlanningLeads.ie addresses this need by automating construction lead discovery and enrichment at scale, eliminating manual spreadsheet and inbox-based intelligence gathering that has historically characterized the Irish construction market. **Platform Capabilities and Data Enrichment** Unlike planning-led sites that list raw council data, PlanningLeads.ie enriches each lead with the named applicant organisation and comprehensive Company 360 profiles including registered company information, CRO filing history, appointed main contractors and supplier networks. Each record includes zoning details, appeals history, area comparables and lead-readiness assessment. The platform pushes new matching leads to customers via HMAC-signed webhooks every hour, enabling real-time pipeline monitoring without manual data entry or constant platform checks. Market intelligence endpoints provide yield estimates, a repeat-sale price index built on 790,000 Property Price Register sales, emerging zones analysis and material-cost trends. GeoJSON feeds integrate the national planning and infrastructure pipeline directly into QGIS and ArcGIS Pro, eliminating data export and transformation steps for teams already using geographic analysis tools. **API Access Tiers and Data Models** PlanningLeads.ie offers API access across three distinct levels using the same endpoints, accommodating different organisational needs and scale requirements. The free Commonwealth key provides 600 requests an hour and includes the PII-free public record of planning applications and notices. The Enterprise API tier is included with the PlanningLeads.ie Max plan and provides enriched data access, bulk CSV and JSONL export capabilities, and webhook support for automated lead delivery. The Enterprise Feed data licence offers uncapped bulk access with redistribution rights, a published 99.5% availability SLA, and data processing agreements for organisations that build PlanningLeads data into their own products or platforms. Homeowner names are masked at every tier, protecting privacy across the platform regardless of subscription level or API usage pattern. **Key Features** • **214,543 enriched construction records** covering planning applications and commencement notices from all 31 Irish local authorities with consistent weekly updates • **Company 360 profiles** providing registered company details, CRO filing history, appointed main contractors and supplier networks for each planning applicant organisation • **Hourly webhook delivery** of new matching leads using HMAC signatures, enabling automated CRM ingestion without polling or manual checks • **Market intelligence endpoints** offering yield estimates, repeat-sale price index based on 790,000+ Property Price Register transactions, emerging zone identification and material-cost analysis • **GeoJSON spatial feeds** enabling direct integration of planning and infrastructure pipeline data into QGIS and ArcGIS Pro without data transformation • **Bulk export formats** supporting CSV and JSONL for enterprise workflows and data warehousing • **Three access tiers** from free Commonwealth key (600 requests/hour) to Enterprise Feed with redistribution rights and published SLA • **Privacy-first design** with homeowner name masking across all subscription levels **Executive Commentary** "Construction intelligence in Ireland has been stuck in inboxes and spreadsheets," said Robert Fitzgibbon, Spokesperson for PlanningLeads.ie. "With the PlanningLeads API, the full national pipeline, every planning application and commencement across all 31 councils, enriched with the company behind it, flows straight into the CRM, estimating tool or GIS a team already uses. Coverage, enrichment and programmatic access together are what make PlanningLeads the most indispensable construction intelligence platform in Ireland." **Use Cases and Market Applications** For contractors and subcontractors evaluating tender opportunities, the platform automates lead discovery across the entire national planning pipeline while enriching each opportunity with applicant company profiles, contractor history and comparable project data. Building material suppliers benefit from early visibility of upcoming projects and direct access to project principals through Company 360 profiles. Quantity surveyors and cost estimators gain access to material-cost trends and area comparables through market intelligence endpoints, reducing manual research time. Proptech teams and CRM developers integrate PlanningLeads data directly into customer platforms via the API, enriching property records with live planning status and pipeline information. Utilities and energy consultants identify strategic-infrastructure and energy projects across all councils simultaneously rather than monitoring individual local authority websites. Property investors and analysts access yield estimates, price-index data and emerging zone identification to inform acquisition and development strategy. **About PlanningLeads.ie** PlanningLeads.ie is an Irish construction intelligence platform that transforms planning applications, commencement notices and strategic-infrastructure consents from all 31 local authorities into enriched, ready-to-act sales leads and market data. The platform serves trades, contractors, suppliers, civil engineers, utilities, proptech companies and investors through multiple access channels including web application, email alerts, bulk export and programmatic API access. PlanningLeads.ie combines national coverage across all local authority planning systems with proprietary data enrichment including applicant company profiles, contractor networks, appeals history and market intelligence.
