Method
Every tracked project with a developer on its team counts once for that firm. Live means a status of proposed, under review, approved, under construction or on hold. The company link opens the firm's file with every project.
Mecklenburg permits carry the owner, phone and cost. 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.
