What it means for trades
A permit issued in March 2026 starts a clock. The early trades, site work, concrete, framing and structural steel, are bought in the next weeks; mechanical, electrical and plumbing a few months in; finishes and landscaping close to a year later on a typical build. Builtie tracks each project through those stages and shows it to a trade while its package is still open.
What the San Antonio data covers
The data is San Antonio's own building permits. Neighbouring cities issue their own permits and are not in this count. The permit names a contact person; Builtie resolves the company behind it before a project is shown.
