Appliances and Equipment Construction Leads in Austin (2026): 7,678 Projects in the Award Window
To find appliance and equipment construction leads in Austin, work from building permits and time the call to the build stage. On October 9, 2026, 7,678 permitted projects in the City of Austin were still at the point where appliance and equipment is awarded. The builder or developer chooses the appliance package, usually one standard across a development; on custom homes the owner and kitchen designer choose and the builder places the order. Builtie reads the permits, estimates each project's stage and attaches the builder or general contractor with a verified decision maker.
The same four steps, whether the buyer is a builder, a designer, an owner or a company you want to acquire.
How many appliance and equipment projects are open in Austin right now
| Measure | Austin |
|---|---|
| Projects in the appliance and equipment award window | 7,678 |

61% of them are new buildings and 39% are renovations, additions or alterations: a mix of ground-up builds, where the builder decides, and renovations, where the owner or designer often does. Only 0% were permitted in the last 90 days, and that is expected: appliance and equipment is bought late, so a project permitted a year ago is only now reaching the stage where the appliance and equipment contract is decided. Austin ranks 2 of 25 markets Builtie covers for appliance and equipment, behind New York City (15,837 projects).
A project counts when its permit was issued in the last four years, the build is still inside the stage when appliance and equipment is awarded, and the job is big enough to be worth quoting: at least $5k of appliance and equipment work. Trade sub-permits are grouped into their parent project, so this is a count of projects, not permits.

When appliance and equipment is awarded, and who decides
Builtie times appliance and equipment from about 65% of the way through the build to about 90%, with the last realistic approach at about 95%. The builder or developer chooses the appliance package, usually one standard across a development; on custom homes the owner and kitchen designer choose and the builder places the order.

What the Austin data covers
Austin files separate permits for each trade and names the contractor on each. It states a construction cost on only about 7% of permits, so Builtie publishes counts for Austin but no dollar totals. The job-size filter needs a stated cost, so Austin's trade counts are also the least filtered of any city.
If you work from Round Rock, Cedar Park, Pflugerville, Georgetown and San Marcos, Builtie shows you this feed as your nearest covered market; those cities' own permits are not in the count above.
