How many finish carpentry projects are open in New York City right now
| Measure | New York City |
|---|---|
| Projects in the finish carpentry award window | 16,573 |
| New buildings / renovations and alterations | 4,127 / 12,446 |

25% of them are new buildings and 75% 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. Only 11% were permitted in the last 90 days, and that is expected: finish carpentry is bought late, so a project permitted a year ago is only now reaching the stage where the finish carpentry contract is decided. New York City ranks 1 of 25 markets Builtie covers for finish carpentry, 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 finish carpentry is awarded, and the job is big enough to be worth quoting: at least $4k of finish carpentry 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.
