On October 9, 2026, 3,096 new buildings across 25 markets were still at the stage where excavation and site work is awarded, led by New York City with 816. New buildings come from builders that build again, which makes each one a client, not just a job. Builtie does that work for a trade: it finds these projects on permits, names the company behind each one and runs the LinkedIn and email outreach, saving about 2 hours a day, around 60 hours a month of prospecting.
The same four steps, whether the buyer is a builder, a designer, an owner or a company you want to acquire.
