Municipal intelligence for Philadelphia organized labor & signatory trades.
Modena Woods synthesizes Philadelphia municipal building permits, unlicensed contractor filings, Streets Department crane closures, and 90-day zoning appeals into daily tactical intelligence. Delivered at 6:00 AM before jobsite rounds and estimating desks open.
The Two-Sided Platform Flywheel
Modena Woods serves the complete Philadelphia union construction ecosystem. By arming union halls to enforce standards and signatory shops to capture remediation contracts, every municipal trigger strengthens the union market share.
Arm field business agents with unassailable facts before 7:00 AM jobsite rounds.
Field agents shouldn't have to guess whether a jobsite has pulled permits or registered certified master trade contractors. Modena Woods delivers daily jobsite dossiers directly to BAs' mobile phones, highlighting unrepresented projects, unlicensed subcontractors, active Stop Work Orders, and mobile crane setups.
Cross-checks alteration filings to catch general contractors performing electrical, plumbing, and suppression work without master trade licenses.
7-to-14 day advance notice on Philadelphia Streets Department lane closures and mobile crane staging across all five boroughs.
Early tracking of Zoning Board of Adjustment appeals so organizers can initiate Project Labor Agreement (PLA) discussions months before permits issue.
Instantly flags general contractors with historical willful safety citations, unpaid penalties, or fall protection violations.
Commercial Alteration Permit active for 22,000 SF interior tenant build-out. No Master Electrical Contractor (EC) or Fire Suppression license registered on docket. Framing underway.
High-ticket commercial repair triggers delivered directly to your estimating desk.
Stop waiting for public plan-rooms where dozens of shops race to the bottom. Modena Woods captures urgent municipal citations—Unsafe Structures, mandatory § B-3306.2 sidewalk repairs, and past-due Fire Suppression orders—where property owners face strict 30-day compliance clocks and must hire qualified signatory trades immediately.
Concrete shops only get flatwork and ADA triggers; mechanical shops only get boiler and piping leads. Zero cross-niche spam.
We link building permits to OPA tax records and corporate filings to provide direct owner phone numbers and asset management emails.
Every dispatch includes the official City violation docket and statutory deadline, giving estimators immediate leverage to offer turn-key remediation.
Delivered in clean, one-touch email packages with direct dialing links and copy-paste violation dockets ready for immediate follow-up.
