The moment
Floors, cabinets, counters, lighting, doors, paint and glass get bought after the frame is up, against a finish schedule the architect writes. The permit's public the day it issues, and the city's record for the job names the contractor and the architect.
The Planetarium tracks those permits and keeps the private commercial and apartment jobs of $100,000 or more. Single-family homes count in the total, but they don't go on your list.
Who it's for
- Flooring, tile and stone dealers and installers
- Cabinet, millwork and countertop shops
- Appliance and plumbing-fixture distributors
- Lighting and electrical-fixture reps
- Door, hardware and window-covering suppliers
- Paint and coatings dealers
- Commercial furniture dealers
- Landscaping and irrigation contractors
What you get
- Private commercial and multifamily jobs of $100,000 or more
- The contractor and the architect named on the job
- The reported cost, the work described and the unit count where it's stated
- Jobs from public bodies and national primes set aside
- A grade on every job
The outcome
You reach the architect while the finish schedule is still a draft, and the contractor before the buyout. Architects who drew several jobs in the same window turn into a referral list of their own.
Questions buyers ask
- Why does the architect matter?
- The architect writes the finish schedule, and a product on the schedule usually gets bought. When one firm draws several jobs in a quarter, a single relationship covers several buildings.
- Do you include single-family homes?
- They count in the total, and they won't show up on your list. The list is commercial and apartment work of $100,000 or more, where a finish order is big enough to chase.
- How early do I see a job?
- The day the permit issues. For finish trades, that's usually months of lead time before anything gets installed.
