What structural filings make visible.
📐

Additions

An addition is the biggest committed job on a residential parcel, and it schedules mechanical, electrical, and finish work behind it.

🏗️

Framing and foundations

Structural filings date the start of a project, which is the earliest useful point to reach anyone selling into it.

🔗

The trades behind it

One structural permit generally means several more filings on that parcel over the following months.

💰

High project value

These are the parcels where the most money is committed, matched to their assessment record.

Built from county permit filings. Not every filing names a trade cleanly, and counties differ in what they publish, so these counts reflect our coverage as much as the work happening on the ground.
