Groundbreak.
For roofing distributors and roofing contractors

Roofing work coming up, market by market

Construction starts and new permits for buildings with big roofs: warehouses, retail, schools and apartments. Groundbreak counts the projects that fit roofing distributors and roofing contractors in each market it reads, from the last 30 days of filings. The roof goes on once the structure tops out, often months after the start. That gap is the time to get in front of the GC.

On 75 Miami jobs we measured, the roofing permit landed a median 154 days after the first building permit, and three in four had it by day 385.

Questions

How do roofing distributors and roofing contractors find new construction projects?
Watch the public record, not the bid boards. Construction starts and new permits for buildings with big roofs: warehouses, retail, schools and apartments. Groundbreak reads the permits, starts and filings in 27 markets every day and counts the projects that fit, market by market. The busiest right now: Texas outside Austin, Dallas-Fort Worth and San Antonio (2,118), Pennsylvania outside Pittsburgh and Philadelphia (1,490), Florida outside Miami, Tampa Bay and Treasure Coast (1,188).
When does a GC buy roofing on a job?
The roof goes on once the structure tops out, often months after the start. That gap is the time to get in front of the GC. On 75 Miami jobs we measured, the roofing permit landed a median 154 days after the first building permit, and three in four had it by day 385.
Is there a list of upcoming roofing jobs near me?

How is this different from Dodge or ConstructConnect?
Dodge and ConstructConnect are built around bids and plan rooms, researched by their staff. Groundbreak reads the public record itself: permits, construction starts, deeds and loans, with the source document on every row, so you can be on a job before it is a bid. The comparisons page goes service by service.
