Signal vs Glenigan · London

A Glenigan alternative — upstream of the planning portal.

Glenigan (like Barbour ABI) is the standard for construction project leads: once a scheme has a planning reference, it’s in there with the players attached. Signal works one step earlier — the occupier whose lease, headcount and filings say a project is COMING, often before anyone has drawn anything.

Glenigan Signal
What it is Construction project intelligence — planning applications, contract awards, project players, UK-wide. Occupier-movement intelligence — which London companies are heading toward an office move, fit-out or refurb.
When it fires When the project enters the planning system or a tender is announced. When the occupier’s lease clock, growth or filings start ticking — typically months before planning.
Unit of record The project. The occupier — scored 0–100, with the why-now and a decision-maker contact.
Office fit-out coverage Strong on works that need consent; interior fit-outs often surface late or not at all (many need no planning). Built for exactly the moves and Cat B fit-outs that never touch the planning portal.
Geography & scope UK-wide, all construction sectors. London office occupiers, deliberately narrow and deep.
Best for Main contractors and suppliers bidding visible projects. Fit-out, design, furniture and agency teams who want the conversation before the tender exists.
Honestly, though

They stack: Glenigan tells you every project you could bid; Signal tells you which occupiers to befriend before their project becomes a bid. Teams that run both use Signal for pre-tender relationships and Glenigan to make sure nothing visible slips past.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Is Signal a replacement for Glenigan or Barbour ABI?+
For London office fit-out BD, largely yes — most interior fit-outs never appear in the planning system, so a planning-led feed misses them. For visible construction projects across the UK, no: that’s exactly what Glenigan is for. The tools answer different moments in the same pipeline.
How much earlier is Signal?+
Lease events give 12–18 months’ warning; growth and filing signals typically 6–12. Planning-led feeds fire when consent is sought — often after the design team is appointed. The gap between those two moments is where pre-tender relationships get built.
Does Signal cover construction leads outside offices?+
No — Signal is deliberately London-office-only: moves, fit-outs and refurbishments. If you sell groundworks or roofing, Glenigan is your tool. If you sell anything an office occupier buys, Signal feeds you first.
