When roofing gets bought
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.
Construction starts and new permits for buildings with big roofs: warehouses, retail, schools and apartments.

Construction starts and new permits for buildings with big roofs: warehouses, retail, schools and apartments. 280 projects in Tampa Bay fit roofing distributors and roofing contractors in the last 30 days. Each has a building permit, a construction start or a site plan on the public record, at $1M and up, houses left out, in the phases where roofing gets bought.

- 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.
- How do I find out which sub won the job in Tampa Bay?
- Tampa Bay does not publish trade permits, so the sub is not on the public record. The building permit and the construction start name the contractor where the record does, and Pro shows that name the day it files. Call the GC and ask who has the roofing.
