Find projects while teams are still being assembled.
CityScout tracks development activity from the earliest planning filings, so AEC firms and contractors can identify active developers and pursue project-based business development before the opportunity goes to an incumbent.
Most AEC firms hear about projects after the team is already set.

Architects, engineers, contractors, and specialty consultants typically learn about new development projects through their existing relationships, word of mouth, or industry publications. By the time a project reaches those channels, the developer has often already selected their core team or is deep in conversations with incumbents.
The project was visible much earlier. When a developer files a rezoning application, a site plan review, or a subdivision plat, those records are public. They name the sponsor, describe the scope, and signal the start of a new project. But those filings are scattered across municipal planning systems that vary by jurisdiction, and most AEC firms do not have the resources to monitor them at scale.

Track repeat sponsors and expanding portfolios.
Developers who file multiple projects across jurisdictions are often assembling or expanding their go-to team. CityScout lets you spot those patterns and reach out with context about their specific pipeline, not a generic capabilities pitch.

Reach decision-makers while teams are still being assembled.
When a project is still in the planning and entitlement phase, the developer is making decisions about who will design, engineer, and build it. Getting a conversation started at that point is the difference between competing for a role and inheriting one.
