Essex
Essex only. Planning projects from right across the county, filtered and sorted for your trade — the jobs worth calling, not 500 rows to wade through. You see which trades each job needs, how big it likely is, and when to call, so you're first on the phone while it's still warm.

Kitchen extension to the rear of a semi, with rooflights and new render. Approved this week — early enough to quote before they ring round.
Why it works
We're Essex specialists — every authority in the county, nothing watered down with the rest of the UK. You don't have time to chase planning decisions between jobs, so we do it, and we don't just say a job exists: we tell you which trades it needs, how big it is, and when to call.
New approvals reach you the moment they land — be-first instant alerts plus a twice-weekly digest, so you quote before the homeowner has rung round.
Every lead is individually scored and filtered to your trade, radius and job size — the jobs worth calling, not 500 rows to wade through.
We work out the trades a project needs and show where you sit in the chain — so one approval reaches the right people.
Every lead carries a likely job-size band and an indicative value, so you can skip work that's too big or too small.
We flag each job at two moments — the day the application goes in (get on their radar first) and the day it's approved (quote now) — so you reach them before anyone else.
Every lead is rewritten so you know in one line what the job is and whether it's worth a call.
From decision to inbox
We track planning applications and decisions across 13 Essex planning authorities, so you never have to check a single website.
Only the work in your trade, your radius and your chosen job sizes makes it through. The rest never reaches you.
For each job we flag the trades it needs, how big it likely is, and whether to call now or get on their radar early.
A short digest, twice a week. Mark the jobs you win and the feed sharpens to the work that actually pays off.
Who's behind this
I'm Zaid — I'm Essex-based and I work in the development industry. I built EarlyBrick because the raw planning data is public but useless on a van roof: hundreds of rows, no addresses sorted, no idea which trades a job needs or when to call. This turns it into a short list worth your time. If it ever isn't, my email is on every page — tell me directly.
Tell us your trade and postcode and we'll send one real digest for your area — free, no card, no commitment.
