Scout Research

What is Scout Research?

Scout helps you minimize risk on all fronts and get accurate information on your jobs so you can get your documents to the right people to set expectations from the start and avoid bad outcomes like liens. Scout finds:

• Property owner, GC, and surety information
• Legal property description
• Project type

Three Levels of Scout Research

• Level 1: Standard Scout fills in missing property information using the most comprehensive database of construction jobs in the United States.
• Level 2: Our expert Scout Pro team personally investigates your job using other advanced and exclusive sources of information to complete property information with over 98% accuracy.
• Level 3: Taking our advanced and exclusive sources of information to the next level, our outreach loving Scout Ultimate team will do everything possible via calls and emails to get in touch with people on your job and pin down hard to-find information not available online such as GC, lender, and surety details.

Scout Research Notifications

Sometimes, our team needs additional information or finds a different job site address, so they’ll send you a notification on your order. You can use property information (if available) attached to the notification to see where the researcher pulled the new location information. If you’re ever confused about how to respond, contact our support team! They can give you more information. Remember that notifications pause the process.
