recent building permits…
North Carolina has 564 building permits on file, with 191 new permits filed in the last 30 days. That's steady construction activity across the state, and it means real opportunities for contractors looking to generate leads from active projects. Charlotte dominates the permit activity with 432 permits on file, followed by Matthews, Mecklenburg, Huntersville, and Cornelius. If you're a roofer, HVAC tech, plumber, or electrician, these cities are where the work is happening. Most permits fall into the "other" category (250 permits), but commercial projects (159 permits) and renovations (86 permits) represent significant opportunities. Electrical work appears on 19 permits, while pool projects account for 17. Using permit data to find leads gives you a competitive advantage. You can identify active projects before competitors, reach property owners and GCs early in the construction timeline, and focus your efforts on cities with the highest activity. The data shows what's being built, where it's being built, and when owners are most likely to need your services.
Search our building permit database to find active projects in your service area. Filter by permit type (electrical, HVAC, plumbing, roofing, etc.) to focus on work that matches your trade. New permits are added regularly, so you can identify projects early when decisions about subcontractors and suppliers are still being made. This beats waiting for job boards or hoping someone calls you.
Charlotte leads with 432 permits on file. Matthews and Mecklenburg follow with 33 permits each, then Huntersville with 27 and Cornelius with 25. If you're looking to concentrate your efforts, Charlotte is where the volume is. But the secondary cities still offer solid opportunities with less competition than Charlotte typically sees.
Other permits (250) make up the largest category, followed by commercial projects (159) and renovations (86). If you work electrical, there are 19 electrical permits on file. Pool projects account for 17 permits. Commercial and renovation work tend to be larger jobs with good margins, so those two categories are worth paying attention to if your trade applies.
