Metro Vancouver runs on permits.
So does trust.
Homeowners hire proven contractors. Contractors find real work. Both, on verified building-permit records — not reviews anyone can fake.

Trust you can check, not take on faith
PermitBC is built on the public building-permit record — the one thing in this industry that can't be faked.
Built from the public record
Every contractor profile comes from public City building-permit filings and BC licence status — their real track record, pulled from government data.
We show it — we don't vouch for it
No badges for sale, no endorsements. You see the actual permits a contractor pulled and decide for yourself. A profile is a record, not a recommendation.
Harder to fake than reviews
A review can be bought or written by a friend. A ten-year permit history across dozens of real, inspected projects cannot.
A real BC team behind it
We're a small Metro Vancouver team that reviews and refreshes the permit and licence data continuously — not a one-time scrape. Real people stand behind what you see.
GCs. Trades. Connected by permits.
890+ verified working relationships built from real City of Vancouver permit data. Not self-reported.
