Countertops Construction Leads in Miami-Dade (2026): 3,349 Projects in the Award Window
To find countertop construction leads in Miami-Dade, work from building permits and time the call to the build stage. On October 9, 2026, 3,349 permitted projects in Miami-Dade County were still at the point where countertop is awarded. The builder or general contractor awards countertops with or right after cabinetry; on custom and higher-end work the designer or owner chooses the material first. 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.

59% of them are new buildings and 41% 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 6% were permitted in the last 90 days, and that is expected: countertop is bought late, so a project permitted a year ago is only now reaching the stage where the countertop contract is decided. Miami-Dade ranks 3 of 25 markets Builtie covers for countertop, behind Austin (7,468 projects).
A project counts when its permit was issued in the last four years, the build is still inside the stage when countertop is awarded, and the job is big enough to be worth quoting: at least $3k of countertop work. Trade sub-permits are grouped into their parent project, so this is a count of projects, not permits.

What the Miami-Dade data covers
The feed is Miami-Dade County's permit system. About four in five permits are for unincorporated Miami-Dade; the rest span more than 30 municipalities, including the City of Miami, Coral Gables, Hialeah and Doral. Cities with their own building departments, such as Miami Beach, route only some permits through the county, so their coverage is partial.
If you work from Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood and Pembroke Pines in Broward County, Builtie shows you this feed as your nearest covered market; those cities' own permits are not in the count above.
