# Construction Monitor

**Canonical:** https://apis.io/providers/construction-monitor/  
**Website:** https://www.constructionmonitor.com  
**APIs profiled:** 2

Construction Monitor aggregates building-permit data from county and municipal sources nationwide and resells it as construction leads, contractor intelligence, and historical permit research. Programmatic access is offered through a REST + JSON API backed by Elasticsearch and a weekly data-dump option delivered over secure FTP. Both channels are account-managed; partners receive credentials and a documented endpoint contract directly from Construction Monitor.
