The BuildZoom alternative built on the full public record
BuildZoom uses permit data to power a contractor-matchmaking marketplace, connecting homeowners with vetted builders and taking a fee on projects.
Teams usually switch to (or add) Sunwrit for reasons that come down to the data model: code violations alongside permits, owner data on the record, and flat pricing that doesn't tax your volume.
Who it's for
BuildZoom: Homeowners hiring contractors.
Sunwrit: Contractors and investors prospecting from the data directly.
Violations
BuildZoom: Not a violations product.
Sunwrit: Code-enforcement records with owner data and scoring.
Data access
BuildZoom: Marketplace, not raw data.
Sunwrit: Browse, export CSV, or pull the REST API on Team.
Cost structure
BuildZoom: Referral/commission economics.
Sunwrit: Flat monthly subscription; your leads are yours.
