Upcoming construction projects in Raleigh, NC

Raleigh permitted 246 projects with a declared construction value of $500,000 or more in the last six months, $362M in all. A building permit comes before the work, so these are the jobs about to break ground or just under way: what's being built, where, and which contractor pulled the permit.

How to find upcoming construction projects in Raleigh

  1. Start with the permits. A project can't start until its building permit is issued, and the permit names the address, the work, the declared value and usually the general contractor — months before a sign goes up.
  2. Search Raleigh's Permit and Development Portal. It's free: open it, search commercial and new-building permits filed in the last few weeks, and sort or scan for the large values.
  3. Follow the general contractor. The GC on a permit is who hires the subcontractors and buys the materials. Call while they're still pricing the job, not once it's built.
  4. Or let the list come to you. TarSignal reads Raleigh's permits every day, with the ones above and every smaller job, searchable by value, type and contractor.

Construction projects in Raleigh: common questions

What construction projects are coming to Raleigh?
Raleigh permitted 246 projects with a declared construction value of $500,000 or more in the last six months, $362M in all. The largest filed more than 30 days ago: 3800 Barrett Drive New Medical Office Building - New Shell & Core 62,454 sf & Parking Garage 8 at 3800 Barrett Dr ($24.6M); Remodel: Interior Demolition, Removal Of Exterio at 3001 Calvary Dr ($12.5M); NC SECU CORE Renovation -ENTIRE BUILDING 2-B CONST B &A-2 & 3 OOC 59202 SF Interior renovation at 3808 Six Forks Rd ($10.5M).
How do I find upcoming construction projects in Raleigh?
Building permits are the earliest public record of most projects: a job can't start until its permit is issued, and the permit names the address, the work, its declared value and usually the contractor. Raleigh's permits are free to search on Raleigh's Permit and Development Portal; search commercial and new-building permits by date and look for the large values. TarSignal gathers them from Raleigh and other North Carolina offices into one search, sorted by value.
Where does this list come from?
From Raleigh's building permit records. Every permit filed at one address in the last six months counts as one project, and its value is the largest construction value declared on those permits. A job whose address had a permit at least half as large in the 18 months before is an earlier project's tail, and is left out.
Why aren't the newest projects listed?
Projects first permitted in the last 30 days are counted here but listed only in TarSignal Pro — 24 of them right now, worth $71.1M. Pro has every permit the day it's filed, naming the contractor on nearly all and with a phone number on most.

See the next project the day it's filed

Permit Search has every building permit filed in Raleigh, large and small, with the contractor where the record names one. Free for permits over 30 days old; Pro has them the day they're filed.

Source: TarSignal, from Raleigh's public building permit records, data through October 28, 2026. Refreshed nightly. Values are what the applicant declared on the permit, not a sale price or a bid. A project is every permit filed at one address in the window, valued at the largest of them; a new permit at an address that already had one as large in the 18 months before is left out as an earlier job's tail.
