The week by trade

Fence

50 pool projects and 73 new builds. A pool permit means fence/enclosure work follows; every new Austin home needs a fence.

Solar & gutters

20 true reroofs and 15 solar installs. A tear-off reroof is when gutters get replaced; solar installs map where the work is concentrating.

Site services

73 new builds and 23 demolitions. New builds need roll-offs, concrete and a final clean; a demolition needs a dumpster this week.

How these numbers are counted: "projects" are unique property addresses carrying each signal in the City of Austin Issued Construction Permits feed (dataset 3syk-w9eu), permits issued October 16–22, 2026; permit and ZIP counts are individual permits. Signals come from the permit descriptions and work classes in the feed. Snapshot source file: pull-7d-v2-20261023.json (pulled 2026-10-23). This page shows addresses and company names from the public permit record only — no contact details.
