Drywall Construction Leads in San Antonio (2026): 522 Projects in the Award Window
To find drywall construction leads in San Antonio, work from building permits and time the call to the build stage. On October 9, 2026, 522 permitted projects in the City of San Antonio were still at the point where drywall is awarded. The builder or general contractor awards drywall once the mechanical rough-ins are scheduled, usually to crews that can hold a tight board-and-tape sequence. 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.

94% of them are new buildings and 6% are renovations, additions or alterations, so most of this work is awarded by builders and developers on ground-up projects. 71 of them (14%) were permitted in the last 90 days. San Antonio ranks 11 of 25 markets Builtie covers for drywall, behind Vancouver (685 projects).
A project counts when its permit was issued in the last four years, the build is still inside the stage when drywall is awarded, and the job is big enough to be worth quoting: at least $5k of drywall work. Trade sub-permits are grouped into their parent project, so this is a count of projects, not permits.

What the San Antonio data covers
The data is San Antonio's own building permits. Neighbouring cities issue their own permits and are not in this count. The permit names a contact person; Builtie resolves the company behind it before a project is shown.
If you work from New Braunfels, Schertz, Boerne and the rest of Bexar County, Builtie shows you this feed as your nearest covered market; those cities' own permits are not in the count above.
