How to Get More Appliance Jobs: Seven Moves and Where the Work Is
To get more appliance and equipment jobs, work with builders that build again and reach them while the appliance and equipment package is still open: from about 65% of the way through the build to about 90%, with the last realistic approach at about 95%. On October 9, 2026, 37,686 appliance and equipment projects were in that window across 25 markets. That is the job Builtie automates: permit-sourced projects timed to the trade's award window, the builder behind each one, and outreach that runs every day.
The same four steps, whether the buyer is a builder, a designer, an owner or a company you want to acquire.
The job math
Across the markets Builtie covers, 44% of open appliance and equipment projects are new buildings and 56% are renovations or alterations, and a job counts only if it is worth at least $5,000 of appliance and equipment work. New buildings come from builders who build again; renovations come from owners and renovators, one at a time.
Seven ways to get more appliance and equipment jobs
- Go after builders, not single jobs: one builder means a stream of permits.
- Call inside the window: from about 65% of the way through the build to about 90%, with the last realistic approach at about 95%.
- Lead with package pricing across several units, delivery timed to the last finishing weeks, and installation and warranty service.
- Keep a short list of builders active in your area and watch their new permits.
- Follow up when the build moves, not on a timer.
- Ask every builder you finish for for their next project before you leave site.
- Automate the finding and the first messages, and spend the time saved on quotes and site visits.

Frequently asked questions
How do I get more appliance and equipment jobs?
Reach the builders with projects in the appliance and equipment award window, lead with package pricing across several units, delivery timed to the last finishing weeks, and installation and warranty service, and follow up as each build moves. Builders that build again give you a stream of jobs from one relationship.
How do I get appliance and equipment jobs from builders and general contractors?
The builder or developer chooses the appliance package, usually one standard across a development; on custom homes the owner and kitchen designer choose and the builder places the order.
