New York City leads with 20,307.

Across the 25 markets, 42,934 window, door and glazing projects were inside the award window on October 9, 2026: 38,560 in the United States and 4,374 in Canada, 35,714 of them permitted in the last 90 days. Each market counts its own city's permits only, so a large count says as much about how much a city publishes as about how much it builds.

When window, door and glazing is awarded, and who decides
Builtie times window, door and glazing from about 15% of the way through the build to about 35%, with the last realistic approach at about 45%. The builder or general contractor awards windows and doors around framing, because they close in the building; on commercial work the architect and envelope consultant specify the glazing system.
Tap a stage. The highlighted stage is where window, door and glazing is typically awarded.
What to lead with: product lead times, rough-opening coordination with the framer, and energy performance.
Running the pipeline
Windows, Doors and Glazing work comes in waves that follow the permit record, so the pipeline that wins it starts from projects, not from a contact list. Track each project's stage, call the builder when it enters the window, and keep the framing date, rough-opening sizes and the product lead time you quoted in the record. CRM for window, door and glazing contractors covers what to look for in a CRM built around that.
