The practices that send you basement work, and who you already know there

Trails reads London planning applications and decision notices every morning and shows structural engineers which basement and structural schemes have just been approved, the architecture practice behind each one, and which conditions are holding the start date. Built for the engineer who wants to be the one the practice calls.

What you see

Basement schemes as they are approved

Every approval in your boroughs for a basement, an extension or a structural alteration, the day the notice is published, with the conditions read from it: method statement, monitoring, drainage.

The practice behind each one

The architecture practices generating basement work in each borough, ranked by how much of it they hold, with their live and recent schemes, so the relationship you build covers the pipeline you want.

Who you already know

Where you are already connected to a practice through past projects, mail or calendar, and when a good relationship is going quiet, so the next basement conversation starts warm.

What feeds it

Planning records, read daily

Trails reads the applications and decision notices councils publish across nine London boroughs and recomputes every figure each morning. The free guides below are built from the same reading.

Borough patterns

How concentrated basement work is in each borough, how often it carries a drainage condition, and which conditions bind the start date, so you know what a basement package will demand before you price it.

Conditions and refusals

The method statement, monitoring and drainage conditions attached to each approval, and the discharge submissions that were refused and why. A refusal restarts the clock, and it is when a scheme needs an engineer.

Be the engineer the practice calls
