No black box

A permit is a clue.
We make it legible.

Salvage Signal watches Chicago’s official building-permit feed, isolates demolition language, and scores the public clues that often correlate with recoverable material. Every score explains itself.

  1. 01

    Watch

    Scan newly issued permits and interior demolition scopes every day.

  2. 02

    Read

    Extract structure, material, use, project size, timing, and public contact clues.

  3. 03

    Rank

    Surface the strongest opportunities first and show exactly why they moved up.

  4. 04

    Verify

    You confirm ownership, access, hazards, timing, and actual materials before acting.

Permission before salvage. Always.

Permits are public leads, not permission to enter a property or remove material. Contact the owner or contractor, follow site-safety rules, and verify conditions before quoting or visiting.
