Austin, Texas

Our first market. Every figure on this page comes from the current Austin qualification cycle, run on issued permit records from the City of Austin open data portal. Other markets open only after their data passes the same checks; the city search on the home page shows what is in preparation.

Lead classes

How Austin projects are classified

Every project carries one class, and the class says only what the record supports. No class claims that any scope of work is unfilled.

Class A GC-led

A general contractor is named on the building permit. These are the projects where you know exactly who is running the job and who hires the trades.

Class B Trade or applicant led

No general contractor of record. A trade party or the applicant is named instead, which often means the project is being run without a GC, or the GC is simply not on the record.

Class C Watchlist

No contractor or applicant is named yet. These are the thinnest records we publish, so their record confidence is capped and they are labeled as watchlist items, useful for watching a project rather than chasing it today.
