How we tag Electrical work

Electrical tags follow permit type and description language for electrical, service, lighting, panel, and related power work. Low-voltage and fire-alarm records are tagged separately when the permit distinguishes them. The tag helps an electrical contractor filter the Chicago list. It is not a claim that the job is out to bid.

Scoring and grouping are the same for every trade. Read the pipeline on Methodology.

Frequently asked questions

3 questions

Electrical construction · Chicago permits
Q01
How does FieldFlowHub identify electrical construction opportunities?
From the public permit. Electrical, service, lighting, panel, and related power language in the City of Chicago permit type or description tags the grouped site. We do not add an electrical tag because a building is large or new.
Q02
Is low-voltage work included on the electrical hub?
Only when the permit itself reads as electrical power work. Low-voltage and fire-alarm filings are tagged separately when the record makes that distinction. Open the project to see every related permit at the site.
Q03
Does a large new building automatically get an electrical tag?
No. Size and project type are separate signals. The electrical tag requires power-work language on the permit. The current snapshot is City of Chicago Building Permits, grouped into site-level opportunities. Each project shows its source and retrieval date.
