Windows, Doors and Glazing Construction Leads in New York City (2026): 20,307 Projects in the Award Window

To find window, door and glazing construction leads in New York City, work from building permits and time the call to the build stage. On October 9, 2026, 20,307 permitted projects in New York City were still at the point where window, door and glazing is awarded. 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. Builtie reads the permits, estimates each project's stage and attaches the builder or general contractor with a verified decision maker.
The same four steps, whether the buyer is a builder, a designer, an owner or a company you want to acquire.

23% of them are new buildings and 77% are renovations, additions or alterations, so most of it sits in renovations and fit-outs, where the owner, a designer or a renovation contractor often makes the call. Because window, door and glazing is bought early, the 17,729 projects permitted in the last 90 days are the ones to call first; 87% of the count is that recent. New York City ranks 1 of 25 markets Builtie covers for window, door and glazing, ahead of every other market.
A project counts when its permit was issued in the last four years, the build is still inside the stage when window, door and glazing is awarded, and the job is big enough to be worth quoting: at least $8k of window, door and glazing work. Trade sub-permits are grouped into their parent project, so this is a count of projects, not permits.

What the New York City data covers
All five boroughs are in the feed, which has run since February 27, 2026. New York issues separate permits for each trade, so the firm named on a permit is often the trade contractor, an engineer or an expediter rather than the developer. Builtie groups the permits into projects and resolves the owner and builder separately.
If you work from Jersey City, Hoboken, Newark, Yonkers and Long Island, Builtie shows you this feed as your nearest covered market; those cities' own permits are not in the count above.
