53% of them are new buildings and 47% are renovations, additions or alterations: a mix of ground-up builds, where the builder decides, and renovations, where the owner or designer often does. 3 of them (20%) were permitted in the last 90 days. Red Deer ranks 24 of 25 markets Builtie covers for signage, behind Grande Prairie (34 projects).
A project counts when its permit was issued in the last four years, the build is still inside the stage when signage is awarded, and the job is big enough to be worth quoting: at least $8k of signage work. Trade sub-permits are grouped into their parent project, so this is a count of projects, not permits.
