Each market counts its own city's permits only, so a large count says as much about how much a city publishes as about how much it builds.

When concrete is awarded, and who decides
Builtie times concrete from about 5% before construction starts to about 5%, with the last realistic approach at about 15%. The general contractor or builder awards foundations first, usually before or right at permit issue, and mostly to contractors it already trusts with the schedule.
Tap a stage. The highlighted stage is where concrete is typically awarded.
What to lead with: pour dates you can hold, pump and formwork capacity, and how you handle inspections in cold or hot weather.
Running the pipeline
Concrete and Foundation work comes in waves that follow the permit record, so the pipeline that wins it starts from projects, not from a contact list. Track each project's stage, call the builder when it enters the window, and keep the expected permit date, the excavation start and every pour date you have quoted in the record. CRM for concrete and foundation contractors covers what to look for in a CRM built around that.
