How It Works
We compute supply and demand from real permit data — not surveys or self-reports.
Demand Signal
We parse permit descriptions to identify which trades are needed — electrical, plumbing, HVAC, roofing, and more.
Supply Count
We count unique contractors who appear on permits mentioning each trade — real working professionals, not directory listings.
Market Status
Supply vs demand ratio gives you a live market signal: good supply, tight market, or scarce — updated daily.
