Dallas, TX
One of the hottest construction markets in the nation. Dallas ranked second in the country for new residential permits in 2025, driven by rapid population growth and some of the fastest permit turnaround times in Texas.

San Francisco, CA
San Francisco issues more housing permits each year than any other city in the Bay Area, approving permits for over 13,000 units annually, with residential projects dominating activity across the city.

Chicago, IL
Chicago’s Department of Buildings issues more than 65,000 permit records per year, spanning new construction, renovations, electrical, and more. With active development across neighborhoods like the Near North Side, Logan Square, and Pilsen, Chicago generates a high volume of residential and commercial construction activity that keeps trade contractors busy year-round.

Seattle has issued nearly 182,000 building permits since 2006, with annual volumes running between 5,000 and 8,000 permits in most years — roughly 69% of which are residential. Activity is concentrated in neighborhoods like Wallingford, North Seattle, and Ballard, with a strong mix of single-family renovations and multifamily new construction driving consistent demand for trade work.
New York City, NY
The largest construction market in the country. In 2025 alone, New York City saw 1,972 new building permit filings totaling 67.5 million square feet — representing over 57,000 proposed residential and hotel units across all five boroughs. Total construction spending in NYC is projected to reach $80 billion by year-end 2026, making it an unmatched opportunity for contractors at every trade level.
