Concrete and Foundation Construction Leads in Los Angeles (2026): 642 Projects in the Award Window
To find concrete construction leads in Los Angeles, work from building permits and time the call to the build stage. On October 9, 2026, 642 permitted projects in the City of Los Angeles were still at the point where concrete is awarded. 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. 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 concrete projects are open in Los Angeles right now
| Measure | Los Angeles |
|---|---|
| Projects in the concrete award window | 642 |

33% of them are new buildings and 67% are renovations, additions or alterations, so most of it sits in renovations and fit-outs, where the owner, a designer or a renovation contractor often makes the call. Because concrete is bought early, the 638 projects permitted in the last 90 days are the ones to call first; 99% of the count is that recent. Los Angeles ranks 5 of 25 markets Builtie covers for concrete, behind Calgary (665 projects).
A project counts when its permit was issued in the last four years, the build is still inside the stage when concrete is awarded, and the job is big enough to be worth quoting: at least $15k of concrete work. Trade sub-permits are grouped into their parent project, so this is a count of projects, not permits.

What the Los Angeles data covers
The data is the City of Los Angeles: the building permits the Department of Building and Safety (LADBS) issues. Santa Monica, Pasadena, Glendale, Burbank, Long Beach and the rest of Los Angeles County issue their own permits and are not in the feed today. The city's open dataset names no contractor, so Builtie reads each permit's LADBS record for the contractor and their CSLB license, the architect and the engineer. Many Los Angeles permits are owner-builder, and on those the architect is the first contact.
If you work from Santa Monica, Culver City, Beverly Hills, Burbank, Torrance and the rest of Los Angeles County, Builtie shows you this feed as your nearest covered market; those cities' own permits are not in the count above.
