New Construction Leads, Upstate SC
Building permit records from Greenville, Spartanburg, Anderson, Pickens, and Oconee County, scored before they reach you.
New construction leads for Upstate SC come from the same public building-permit filings that put a project on record before the sign goes up. Each new residential or commercial permit issued in Greenville, Spartanburg, Anderson, Pickens, or Oconee County names the contractor and, where published, the estimated project value, and pulling that filing the day it posts turns it into a lead. Pemberton Data Solutions pulls the Upstate SC systems on the schedule shown below and scores every permit before it reaches you, so a new-construction lead ships as Tier 1 (call first), Tier 2 (worth a look), or Tier 3 (context), each with a written reason.
Timing decides whether a lead is worth anything. Where you sit in the build determines it: install late in a job, like AV or low-voltage, and a quarterly batch works fine, because the permit is months ahead of your work anyway. Bid early on the shell and a permit that reaches you three months late is a job someone else already won. Most Upstate SC jurisdictions are pulled daily, so monthly delivery puts leads in front of you while they are still live. Where a jurisdiction only publishes on a slower cycle, that is stated plainly rather than smoothed over.
Every lead is graded on six signals: permit class fit, project clustering, valuation, owner type, scope keywords, and recency. That grade is what sorts a raw filing into a lead worth a phone call versus one worth filing away. Territory Feed Pro goes further with a builders sheet that ranks every active builder in your territory and pulls a named contact, phone, email, and website from their own filings where published, plus owner mailing addresses and SC entity status where county data allows.
New construction and vacant land move together. If your business works earlier in the pipeline than a building permit, Land Feed covers vacant and unimproved parcels with the owning company and mailing address, and Land Pro adds the Early Signals timing feeds built from Greenville County sources, which is why Pro is offered on the Upstate and Mountain Corridor specifically.
Territory Feed is $500 per delivery and Territory Feed Pro is $700, both paid once upfront with no auto-renewal. A one-time delivery is available at the same price plus a flat $150. A real sample month for the Upstate SC territory is available before you order.

Straight answers
What counts as a new construction lead here?
A newly issued or applied-for building permit for a residential or commercial project, naming the contractor and, where the jurisdiction publishes one, the declared valuation. It is scored and tiered before it reaches you rather than left as one row in an unsorted export.
Which Upstate SC counties are covered?
Greenville, Anderson, Pickens, Spartanburg, and Oconee, across 10 local jurisdictions shown in the table above. The City of Greenville, Anderson County, Clemson, Spartanburg County, and Pickens County update daily; Greenville County and Greer update weekly; Easley updates monthly; Oconee County is quarterly by public records request. The Spartanburg city feed has been paused since April 2026.
How fast do new construction leads arrive?
Most Upstate SC jurisdictions are pulled daily, so a permit can be in your file the same window it posts. Delivery itself is monthly, quarterly, or one-time; monthly puts leads in front of you while they are still live, which matters most for trades that bid early in a job.
Is land data available too, for earlier signals?
Yes. Land Feed is $700 per delivery and covers vacant and unimproved parcels with the owning company and mailing address. Land Pro is $1,100 and adds the Early Signals timing feeds, built from Greenville County sources, offered on the Upstate and Mountain Corridor.
Do you include homeowner leads?
No. South Carolina's Family Privacy Protection Act, S.C. Code § 30-2-50, prohibits using individuals' personal information from public records for commercial solicitation, so individual homeowners are never named. Business and entity names are included in full. Questions go to [email protected].
