Data Sources & Coverage

See what KLL watches, where it works, and what the records can support.

King Lead Lab watches public, commercial, residential, and industrial signals that can appear before a job becomes a crowded bid. This page explains the signal families, coverage boundaries, and evidence standards behind the product.

Commercial and residential coverage across 103 Texas construction counties, with the deepest source concentration in Houston/Southeast Texas and dedicated corridor layers across Dallas-Fort Worth, Austin/Central Texas, and San Antonio/South-Central Texas. Oil-and-gas equipment and service vendors can use the statewide Texas energy layer.
Source categories

Different signals. One pursuit view.

No single public source tells the whole story. KLL brings together complementary signal types, then gives each record a clear stage, scope, location, and company path when the source supports it.

Planning & development
Early project, land-use, planning, zoning, and development activity.
Permits & filings
Building, site, civil, environmental, and related public-record signals.
Public procurement
Solicitations, bid notices, awarded context, deadlines, and buyer paths where published.
Industrial movement
Plant, facility, manufacturing, energy, infrastructure, and maintenance signals.
Commercial project context
Project announcements, owner and builder relationships, and company or facility context.
Residential development
Subdivision, homebuilding, multifamily, site-plan, and residential infrastructure signals.
Oil & gas activity
Statewide Texas drilling and equipment-related signals for vendors serving the energy market.
Coverage, counted honestly

Not just a permit list.

A public record is a starting point, not an invitation to bid. KLL brings multiple public-record layers into a working view of scope, timing, and company paths. Available detail varies by source.

Why we do not publish a raw competitor number. Other platforms also combine project signals. Publishers, jurisdictions, records, and collector programs are different units, not a like-for-like ranking. These measures describe configured coverage, not fresh leads returned by every source today.
Coverage boundaries

Built around the markets our customers can actually work.

Commercial, residential, and industrial coverage is organized into practical selling regions, not just a radius around a pin. The feed is designed for teams that sell locally, across the Gulf Coast, or statewide into energy.

01 Greater Houston & Gulf Coast

Houston, Harris, Fort Bend, Montgomery, Brazoria, Galveston, Chambers, Liberty, Waller, Jefferson, Orange, and surrounding growth corridors for commercial and residential work.

02 Extended Gulf Coast & East Texas

Additional counties and cities across the regional commercial, residential, industrial, public, and infrastructure market.

03 Dallas-Fort Worth, Austin & San Antonio

Forty surrounding-corridor counties form a connected source footprint around the three growth markets. Collector depth varies by county: city permits, planning, ISD facilities, procurement, county agendas, and statewide feeds are combined rather than presented as identical coverage everywhere.

04 Statewide oil & gas

Texas-wide coverage for oil and gas equipment and service vendors whose selling territory is not limited to Houston.

Coverage in context / 02

The signals belong to real places.

Plant infrastructure, energy systems, and directional work all leave different public traces. The point is not to flatten them into one list; it is to help you recognize what deserves a closer look.

Data integrity

Useful context, honest boundaries.

KLL is built to help a salesperson decide what to investigate next, not to replace the source record or promise an award.

Scheduled collectionSources publish on different schedules. A recent feed update does not mean every source refreshed that day.
Dates stay sourcedPublished signal and bid dates are shown when available; missing dates are not estimated.
Values stay sourcedPublished project values are shown when available; KLL uses scale signals instead of inventing a price.
Contacts stay attributedCompany paths and office details are shown when attached to the record or an identified company source.
Records can changePublic records can be delayed, corrected, awarded, withdrawn, or incomplete. Important facts should be checked with the original source.
The exact source selection, matching logic, and prioritization method stay inside the product. Customers get the evidence needed to qualify a lead without receiving a static list that is easy to copy or impossible to interpret.
