Construction Leads in Toronto
Toronto is Builtie's founding market and the one with the longest history behind it. Every project carries an inferred build stage, and the people who award the work are identified with contact details verified where they can be.
The same four steps, whether the buyer is a builder, a designer, an owner or a company you want to acquire.
Where Toronto sits
Toronto among the ten metros Builtie covers. See all of them on one map.
How much is being permitted
Permits by year in Toronto. 2026 is a partial year counted to September 3, 2026, so its bar is shorter for that reason rather than a slowdown.
Toronto has produced 65,840 permits since January 2024: 14,438 in 2024, 23,754 in 2025 and 27,648 so far in 2026. Counted on September 3, 2026.
What the Toronto record actually carries
Toronto's permits sit in Builtie's own tables rather than being read from a portal on demand, which is what allows scoring, stage inference and decision-maker enrichment on top of them. The full history runs to 225,161 permits, the longest of any city on the list.
What a trade contractor should know about this market
- The longest history on the list. A decade of permits means a builder's filing rhythm is visible, which separates a firm with a pipeline from one doing a single job.
- Multiplex conversions and laneway suites. Zoning changes have turned a large stock of single-family lots into multi-unit work, which multiplies the trade scope on an ordinary residential permit.
- Purpose-built rental and mixed use. The larger end of the market has shifted toward rental and mixed-use buildings, which run longer and buy trade packages in sequence.
- Value is visible. Declared and estimated construction value is carried on the record, so a trade can filter by project size rather than guessing from the address.
What Builtie carries in Toronto
Toronto carries full depth: the permit history rather than a single snapshot, projects scored against your trade and territory, an inferred build stage so you can tell an open package from one awarded months ago, and the people who award the work traced past applicants and numbered companies to a named person with email, phone and LinkedIn where each can be verified.
When your package is bought
The buying window does not move with the city. Concrete and excavation are committed before the site is visibly dug, framing is booked while the foundation cures, roofing and cabinetry are decided during framing, and painting is awarded while drywall goes up. Our guide to when each trade is decided maps all of them against the five build stages.
Builtie plans start at $550 per month per seat for 50 matched projects a month, and $880 for 200. Every plan includes done-for-you LinkedIn and email outreach, and there is a 7-day free trial with 10 projects.
