Satellite-Powered Detection

We compare Sentinel-2 satellite imagery month-over-month to detect land clearing, grading, and new construction at 10-meter resolution. Live across 6 states, expanding nationwide.

Thousands of Permit Offices, One Search

Fragmented permit systems across thousands of municipalities. No single database aggregates site-level construction data. SubGrade does — from satellite imagery, not paperwork.

🎯

Verified with Before/After Imagery

Every detection includes on-demand before/after satellite imagery so you can visually confirm ground changes yourself. No black-box algorithms.
