Ask the record. In your own words.
Ask anything you would ask a researcher who has read every filing in Charlotte: who pulled the most permits this quarter, which jobs sit in a flood zone and what builders pay for a lot. The answer comes back with the table and the records behind it.
Rankings, totals and month against month, by city, trade or job size. The answer names the companies and shows the table, with a CSV.

What Charlotte publishes, and what we do with it.
Groundbreak Charlotte tracks every Charlotte development project from the public record: permits, subs on trade permits, rezoning petitions, owners of record and FAA height filings, with the contractor and the owner named, updated daily.
The owner and contractor are on the permit. The last sale is on the parcel. Mecklenburg permits name the owner and the licensed contractor, with a phone on most and the cost on about half. Commercial electrical, plumbing and mechanical permits name the licensed sub. Every parcel carries the owner of record and its last sale price from the county roll. The Register of Deeds publishes no index feed, so loans are not tracked. North Carolina records no notice of commencement.
