How cladding contractors use SiteLens
Every residential block at validation
Cladding on new blocks is specified early. Each major residential application lands in your digest the morning after it appears.
Track remediation across councils
Filter by postcode radius or council and alert on re-cladding, external wall replacement or facade work.
Follow the developers who build blocks
On Pro, follow the developers who file mid-rise and high-rise schemes, and get an alert whenever they file a new one.
Free to start. Pro is £39/mo, or £29/mo billed annually.
Free covers search, application views and one daily alert, with each firm shown by its Companies House number. Pro adds the firm names, the project team on major schemes, published contact details and competitor watch. Team shares one pipeline across up to 5 users.
Frequently asked
Can I filter by building height?
Yes, where the application or its documents state it. Filter by minimum storeys or height to find the taller blocks, where cladding packages are larger.
Can I find remediation work?
Yes, where it needs planning permission. A keyword alert on re-cladding, external wall replacement or remediation catches those applications each morning.
Who specifies the cladding?
Usually the architect and a facade consultant, early in design. On major schemes SiteLens reads the planning documents for the named project team. The firm names are on Pro.
