Excavation and Site Work Construction Leads in New York City (2026): 877 Projects in the Award Window
To find excavation and site work construction leads in New York City, work from building permits and time the call to the build stage. On October 9, 2026, 877 permitted projects in New York City were still at the point where excavation and site work is awarded. The general contractor or developer awards excavation and site work first, often before the building permit is issued, because it starts 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.

Only new construction is counted for excavation and site work, because renovations rarely need it. Because excavation and site work is bought early, the 875 projects permitted in the last 90 days are the ones to call first; 100% of the count is that recent. New York City ranks 1 of 25 markets Builtie covers for excavation and site work, ahead of every other market.
A project counts when its permit was issued in the last four years, the build is still inside the stage when excavation and site work is awarded, and the job is big enough to be worth quoting: at least $15k of excavation and site work work. Trade sub-permits are grouped into their parent project, so this is a count of projects, not permits.

What the New York City data covers
All five boroughs are in the feed, which has run since February 27, 2026. New York issues separate permits for each trade, so the firm named on a permit is often the trade contractor, an engineer or an expediter rather than the developer. Builtie groups the permits into projects and resolves the owner and builder separately.
If you work from Jersey City, Hoboken, Newark, Yonkers and Long Island, Builtie shows you this feed as your nearest covered market; those cities' own permits are not in the count above.
