54% of them are new buildings and 46% are renovations, additions or alterations: a mix of ground-up builds, where the builder decides, and renovations, where the owner or designer often does. 5 of them (38%) were permitted in the last 90 days. Red Deer ranks 24 of 25 markets Builtie covers for fire protection, behind Broken Arrow (31 projects).
A project counts when its permit was issued in the last four years, the build is still inside the stage when fire protection is awarded, and the job is big enough to be worth quoting: at least $10k of fire protection work. Trade sub-permits are grouped into their parent project, so this is a count of projects, not permits.
