Frequently asked questions
Where does NearbyBuilds' Ottawa construction data come from?
From the “Development Applications” dataset published by City of Ottawa on maps.ottawa.ca. We have loaded 1,592 development applications (2008-11-24 to 2026-08-24) and grouped the significant ones into 1,116 projects. Every page links back to the official record it came from — where our page and the source disagree, the source is right.
How often is the data updated?
The pipeline re-pulls every city on a weekly basis. The data behind this page was last refreshed on 2026-09-23, and the most recent Ottawa record is dated 2026-08-24. The gap between those two dates is the City's own publishing lag, not ours.
Does this include every construction project in Ottawa?
No. These are applications, not permits: they say what someone has asked to build, not what has been built. Ottawa publishes no row-level issued-permit feed. Unit counts and descriptions come from the city's application-detail service, which covers roughly 85–92% of 2025–26 applications but few before 2022, so older entries show type and status only.
How do I find out what's being built near a specific address in Ottawa?
Type the address into the map search. It is geocoded against the City's own address register, and we return every record within a radius you choose — not just the major projects, but all 1,592 records. You can also browse by ONS neighbourhood from this page.
Is this an official City website?
No. NearbyBuilds is an independent project with no affiliation to City of Ottawa or any municipality. We re-publish open public data in a mapped, searchable form and link to the original for every record. For anything official, go to the City.
