About.

Hammond Business Intelligence was built on a simple principle — the best time to win a contract is before anyone else knows the site exists. We dig into granted planning permissions and decision notice PDFs to extract what most firms overlook: the legal conditions that tell you exactly what a developer is required to buy before they can break ground.

Founded by a civil engineer with a background in digital agency management, HBI combines deep technical domain knowledge with commercial precision. We don't sell data. We sell intelligence — hand-vetted, spatially mapped, and delivered with a contractor's bottom line in mind.

Qualified Lead Generation

We filter thousands of raw planning entries to surface only granted permissions for high-value new builds and commercial projects. Every lead includes architect and agent contacts, project scope, and decision notice summaries — no noise, no wasted time.

Strategic GIS & Spatial Mapping

We transform tabular planning data into interactive KML site cluster maps. Visualise your territory, identify high-density development zones, and optimise your logistics and sales coverage in real time — all from a single file that drops straight into Google Earth or Maps.

Competitor & Market Tracking

We monitor the local planning landscape to identify which architects and developers are winning the most approvals in your target area. Know who the power players are, where they're building, and who you should be building relationships with before your competitors do.

Pre-Commencement Alerts

We analyse pre-commencement planning conditions to predict ground-break dates with up to 12 weeks' notice. Quote on site security, fencing, and plant hire before the site is even live — and before your competitors have even heard the name of the project.

Mark T. — Site Fencing Ltd

We received our first HBI sample pack and had three quotes submitted within two weeks. The pre-commencement data alone was worth it — we were on site before the main contractor had even confirmed their groundworks team.

James R. — Northern Plant Hire

The KML map file was immediately useful. I could see every live development cluster in our region at a glance and prioritise our sales effort properly for the first time. Genuinely impressive level of detail.

Sarah K. — Apex Site Security

Other data providers give you a spreadsheet and leave you to figure it out. HBI tell you what the developer is legally required to procure and when. That context changes everything for our commercial team.

We primarily serve mid-sized UK contractors in fencing, site security, plant hire, groundworks, and construction supply. Any business that needs to quote on a site before it goes live will benefit from our intelligence packages.

Unlike bulk scrapers that deliver raw application lists, HBI focuses on the economic trigger. We extract specific material requirements and pre-commencement conditions from decision notice PDFs, turning bureaucratic planning language into a commercially actionable contractor shopping list.

Each sample pack includes five hand-vetted granted planning permissions from your target council area, delivered as a CSV lead sheet and an interactive KML map file. Leads include architect contact details, project scope, and pre-commencement condition summaries.

By analysing pre-commencement planning conditions, we can typically identify a site 8 to 12 weeks before ground is broken. This gives our clients a significant window to quote on fencing, security, plant hire, and other early-stage site requirements ahead of any competitor.
