Frequently asked questions

What is Balloon Sight Intelligence?

Balloon Sight Intelligence (BSI) is a Canadian construction project intelligence feed. We aggregate permits, tenders, environmental assessment filings, and related public records from municipalities and provincial and federal portals, then surface relevant projects so subcontractors, suppliers, and general contractors can see work earlier in the pipeline.

What is on the Projects page?

The Live Projects feed on this site is a searchable, filterable table of projects sourced from public data across Alberta and British Columbia (and expanding sources). You can filter by province, sector, stage, and keyword to explore what is currently in the dataset.

How much does Balloon Sight cost?

Balloon Sight is $149/mo for Alberta and BC coverage. That includes the weekly digest and the live projects feed. No long-term contract — cancel anytime.

What is the weekly digest?

The digest is a curated email scoped to your province and trade. Each send summarises projects surfaced from public filings: stage, geography, indicative value where available, and short plain-language context on scope.

How often is the digest sent?

Subscribers receive one curated email per week. Cadence may adjust slightly as we tune deliverability and content.

Which provinces does Balloon Sight cover?

Coverage today focuses on Alberta and British Columbia construction activity. Sources and geography expand over time as we add integrations.

Where does the project data come from?

Data comes from public sources such as municipal open data (for example permit portals in Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver, and Victoria), provincial inventories and environmental registries where applicable, and federal procurement feeds. The exact mix of sources changes as feeds are maintained or upgraded.

Does the digest include contact names or verified emails?

Not today. The product emphasises project intelligence drawn from what is reliably available in public records. If we add richer contact or outreach features later, subscribers will see that communicated clearly on the website.

How do I subscribe?

Visit the pricing page or use the signup form on the homepage. Provide your email, province, and trade so sends align with how you pursue work. You can cancel your subscription at any time.

Who is Balloon Sight for?

It is aimed at Canadian construction firms and trades that want visibility into upcoming work earlier: concrete and forming, mechanical and electrical, civil, suppliers, rental, steel, GCs evaluating regional pipelines, and similar roles.

Is Balloon Sight a government service?

No. Balloon Sight Intelligence is an independent company. We do not represent municipalities, provinces, or the federal government. Always verify bids, permits, and contract requirements on official agency sites.

Who can I contact with questions?
