What it means for trades
A permit issued in September 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 St. Louis data covers
The data is the City of St. Louis's own building permits. Neighbouring cities issue their own permits and are not in this count. St. Louis joined the feed recently, so every project counted here was permitted in the last 90 days and the counts will grow as the history fills in. St. Louis County is a separate permit office.
