Data Advantages

BuildFax data products take complex, often indecipherable property data, and apply sophisticated analytics, called PermitProfile Checks, to create actionable information. These Checks provide decision-ready intelligence that illuminates the impact of property-related information on critical business processes. For example:

Claims Follow-up Analysis

BuildFax opens a window on standard claim information by providing insight into whether the property owner made associated repairs with applicable permits. BuildFax applies information on the claim type and amount to the data to determine what types of work are permitted in those areas, and the typical valuation for certain types of repairs. This class of PermitProfile Checks identify particular events (e.g., wind or flood), and provide a structured, easy to understand claims follow-up report.

Value Increase Analysis

BuildFax gives customers specific knowledge on the change in value of properties. Using information gathered from across the country to determine what specific permits on a particular property represent, from sign permits to large additions, BuildFax applies PermitProfile Checks to questions of increased value, identifying common value-increasing projects.

In addition to BuildFax's trademarked Checks, BuildFax can also develop custom ones to provide critical context on both micro (single property) and macro (range of properties across cities or regions) levels. BuildFax Checks can identify trends, flag statistical outliers, and reveal key connections within the data. BuildFax data products are delivered in various formats – printable reports to direct data feeds – and integrate with any existing or proposed business process.
