Market Statistics · Market Intel
Your market, in numbers you can put in front of a lender or a partner.
Permits filed per month in your trade and county, the typical job value, how this month compares to the same month last year, which ZIPs carry the volume, and how much of it the top five companies take. Drawn from the record, not from a survey.
One tile per ZIP: permits in the latest settled week against the week before (four weeks for a quiet ZIP), the 12-month count, and the company with the most permits there.
The weekly report opens with one paragraph: permits in your trade across your ZIPs in the latest settled week against the week before, and over the last 12 months.
Statistics in Market Intel charts monthly permit volume by trade and Florida county, residential and commercial median job values, a same-month-last-year comparison, a ZIP board of where the work is, and market concentration among the top filers. All figures come from permits on record in the covered jurisdictions.

From the record to a signed job
How Statistics becomes a sale
Your county's commercial median job value for your trade is $84,000 and you've been bidding $60,000. You raise your number and win the same share at more margin.
The ZIP board shows 40% of your trade's permits in the county sit in five ZIPs you don't market to. You move the direct mail budget and keep the same spend.
You take the volume chart and the concentration chart to your bank. A lender can read 'permits up 18% year over year, top five hold 31%' faster than a pitch deck.
Numbers from the record, not a survey, so when you walk into a meeting with them, nobody argues.
Volume and value, month by month
How many permits your trade filed in your county each month, and what the typical one was worth, residential and commercial separately. Flip the same-month-last-year switch and the prior year draws over it, so a slow March reads as a slow March and not as a slow year.
A county where five companies file most of the permits is a different fight than one where nobody does.
Where the work is, and who has it
The ZIP board ranks your county's ZIPs by permits in your trade. The concentration chart shows what share the top five companies hold. A county where five companies file 70% of the roofing permits is a different place to compete than one where they file 20%.
What a blank means
Some jurisdictions don't publish job values, and some stopped for a while. When the value series has a hole, the chart shows the hole instead of smoothing it. A median built on eight valued permits out of twelve thousand is not a market signal and we won't draw it as one.

Questions contractors ask
Can I export the charts?
The charts are for the screen. CSV export of the permit rows behind them is Growth.
Why does my county's commercial median look wrong for one month?
Usually because that jurisdiction didn't capture values that month. The chart marks it. We fix the data rather than hide the gap.
Where do the numbers come from?
From the permits on record in the jurisdictions we cover, nothing else. No survey, no estimate. Every count is a floor for those jurisdictions, which is why the charts say 'on record'.
Can I see another trade or county?
The charts switch between trades and cover the counties in your plan area. Growth seats can add counties.
What is market concentration?
The share of your trade's permits in the county that the top five filers hold. A county where five companies file 70% of the roofing permits is a different place to compete than one where they file 20%.
