PlanPing finds all planning applications matching your criteria local to you, updated daily. You can generate print-ready PDF letters in one click, or enable Auto-Send to have letters posted automatically. Getting started is easy — sign up, design a letter template, set your preferences, and start reaching homeowners immediately.

Every letter you send — whether manually printed or auto-posted — includes a unique QR code linked to your business website or landing page. When a recipient scans the code with their phone, the scan is logged instantly in your Engagement dashboard. You'll see the address, planning UID, number of scans, and last scan time for every letter. No extra setup needed; it's built in to all letter templates.

With Manual sending, you choose individual planning applications, generate PDFs, and print and post them yourself. With Auto-Send, you set up a campaign with target criteria and a daily spend budget, and PlanPing automatically identifies new matching planning applications and posts letters on your behalf — fully hands-free. Both modes use the same QR tracking system and are visible in the same Engagement dashboard.

Of course you can — but it's extremely time-consuming. It can take hours to identify projects, pull addresses, and prepare letters. PlanPing handles all of that in seconds, with a dedicated QR-tracked letter for each recipient. It's like having an extra team member whose only job is filling your pipeline.

Yes — PlanPing includes a full drag-and-drop letter editor where you can design your own A4 template. Add your logo, branding, custom text, and a QR code placeholder. Templates are saved and reused across all your manual prints and auto-send campaigns. We can also help you craft letter content that gets the highest response rates.

Our database is updated daily with new planning applications across the UK. This means you'll always be among the first to reach homeowners who have just submitted — giving you a significant head-start over any competitor who searches manually.

Letters are generated as print-ready PDFs with the recipient address in the exact position for standard windowed envelopes. Just print, insert, add a stamp, and post. If you prefer not to handle postage yourself, switch to Auto-Send and we'll handle the printing, stamping, and posting for you.

Absolutely. PlanPing is designed for construction businesses of all sizes — from sole traders to companies with multiple employees — across all trades: builders, architects, landscapers, electricians, plumbers, and more.

No. PlanPing offers flexible monthly pricing with no mandatory annual commitment. You can choose monthly or annual (with a 10% discount), and cancel any time.

This is a numbers game — results depend entirely on how many letters you send. Some users see responses after their first campaign, others need several rounds of outreach before work comes in. Response rates are also heavily influenced by the quality of your letter (we can help with this), your website (we can help with this too), and how competitive your local market is. The more consistently you send, the faster you'll see results.

One advantage PlanPing has is that every letter carries a unique QR code — so you can actually measure who is scanning and when. That data lets you see which campaigns are generating interest, test different letters, and adjust your approach based on real numbers rather than guesswork.

Yes, but it's not just for construction — PlanPing is a leads platform for all trades, and it works very differently from traditional leads services like MyBuilder or Bark. Instead of selling shared leads to multiple contractors at once, PlanPing sources leads directly from UK planning applications for any trade — builders, roofers, glaziers and more. That means you're reaching homeowners before they've started looking for quotes — not competing in a race against several other tradespeople for the same enquiry.

Every lead comes with full project details and the homeowner's address. You then generate a ready-to-send personalised letter in one click — or enable Auto-Send and PlanPing posts it for you automatically. Whether you call them construction leads, trade leads, or just new jobs — PlanPing gives you exclusive access to them, matched to your trade and local area.

PlanPing is suitable for any trade or business whose services could be needed off the back of a planning application — the obvious one being construction, but far from the only one. That includes roofers, glaziers, electricians, plumbers, landscapers, architects, structural engineers, scaffolders, kitchen and bathroom fitters, and more.

If a homeowner submitting a planning application might reasonably need your services once the project moves forward, PlanPing can put you in front of them first — before they've started shopping around for quotes.
