Division 01 · Project intelligence · Montreal and Laval
The projects are public. Finding them first is not.
Every week, OL reads the permit registers of Montreal and Laval and publishes the demolition, rebuild and extension projects that are actually moving — with the value, the stage and the permit reference. A contractor can call on Monday morning instead of finding out in six weeks, once the tender list has already closed.
No homeowner name, no phone, no email: the product is project intelligence built from public records, and personal data stays out of the file by design.
What an issue looks like
Five projects, their value, their permit.
An issue is a dated table, not a promise: every row carries the published address, the type of work, the value range and the permit reference. The five rows below come from the current register.
| Project | Value | Permit |
|---|---|---|
| 1624 Rue François-BeaucourtLaval · single-family extension (agrandissement) | $1.05–1.74Mestimate | PA-2025-1412 |

Address, type of work and permit reference come from the public register. A value marked declared is printed on the permit; a value marked estimate is OL's own model, and the range is shown with its basis rather than presented as a settled amount.

What is deliberately not in it
No homeowner or applicant name, no phone, no email — the product is project intelligence from public records, and personal data stays out of the file by design. A territory licence is sold once per city: if a competitor holds it, you are told before you pay.
How it is made
A deterministic pipeline, not a manual watch.
A pipeline reads the registers, extracts the dossiers, ranks the projects by value and recency, then renders this page from a database — no hand-typing, no estimate written by a person. That is also why it can be priced this low: the marginal cost of a copy is compute.
- The register is the source. Address, type of work and permit reference come from it; OL does not correct them and does not complete them.
- "Estimate" is not "declared". A value marked estimate is OL's model; the range and its basis are shown with it, never presented as a settled amount.
- A filed permit is not a guaranteed job. The register says what was applied for: a permit can be amended, delayed or abandoned, and the reference is the only checkable anchor.
- No personal data. No name, no phone, no email in the file — a design constraint, not a setting.
