How do I find upcoming construction projects in Wake County?

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. Wake County's permits are free to search on Wake County's permit portal; search commercial and new-building permits by date and look for the large values. TarSignal gathers them from Wake County and other North Carolina offices into one search, sorted by value.

Where does this list come from?

From Wake County'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. Pro has every permit the day it's filed, naming the contractor on nearly all and with a phone number on a few.

How to find upcoming construction projects in Wake County

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.
Search Wake County's permit 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.
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.
Or let the list come to you. TarSignal reads Wake County's permits every day, with the ones above and every smaller job, searchable by value, type and contractor.

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.
