Each market counts its own city's permits only, so a large count says as much about how much a city publishes as about how much it builds.

When flooring is awarded, and who decides
Builtie times flooring from about 50% of the way through the build to about 70%, with the last realistic approach at about 80%. The builder or general contractor awards flooring, but on custom and higher-end work the designer or owner chooses the product first.
Tap a stage. The highlighted stage is where flooring is typically awarded.
What to lead with: samples and product lead times, subfloor preparation and install dates that follow drywall and paint.
Running the pipeline
Flooring work comes in waves that follow the permit record, so the pipeline that wins it starts from projects, not from a contact list. Track each project's stage, call the builder when it enters the window, and keep the selection meeting, product lead times and the install date after drywall and paint in the record. CRM for flooring contractors covers what to look for in a CRM built around that.
