New Construction Projects for Electrical Contractors: 20,065 New Buildings Open
On October 9, 2026, 20,065 new buildings across 25 markets were still at the stage where electrical is awarded, led by New York City with 5,246. New buildings come from builders that build again, which makes each one a client, not just a job. 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.

When a new building needs electrical
Builtie times electrical from about 20% of the way through the build to about 45%, with the last realistic approach at about 55%. On new homes the builder's purchasing manager or site superintendent awards electrical; on commercial and multi-unit work it is the general contractor, working from an electrical engineer's drawings, and on custom homes often the owner.
