For specialty contractors
Find the job before your package is bid.
Projects Ahead is for every specialty contractor. You need two of the three axes: what comes next and when. Each trade is measured separately by market; mechanical is the first published Philadelphia example, not the product boundary.
A project where plumbing, electrical and fire protection are done and mechanical is not reaches a mechanical permit in 65.2% of cases within 90 days in Philadelphia (n = 2,888). Alongside it we show how open the package looks — a general contractor who always uses the same firm is predictable and hard to displace, and those are different numbers.
Practical next step
Use the public timeline to identify a project worth researching, confirm the current permit with the issuing authority, and apply your own commercial qualification before outreach. The page describes a workflow for this role; it does not promise access to a specific job or decision-maker.
Why the evidence remains local
Permit labels, filing habits and project timing vary by jurisdiction. A frequency shown for Philadelphia is evidence for Philadelphia and its stated sample, not a performance claim for another market.
