New Construction Projects for Plumbing Contractors: 19,894 New Buildings Open
On October 9, 2026, 19,894 new buildings across 25 markets were still at the stage where plumbing is awarded, led by New York City with 5,235. 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 plumbing
Builtie times plumbing from about 20% of the way through the build to about 45%, with the last realistic approach at about 55%. The builder or general contractor awards plumbing, usually alongside the mechanical package; on custom homes the owner and designer often choose the fixtures while the builder picks the plumber.
