How to work this list

  • A pulled permit means the money is committed and the schedule is being built. For excavation crews that is weeks to months of warning before the call goes out.
  • On housing the applicant is usually the owner or a small builder, and there is no bid list to get onto. The whole game is being the first name they have when the trade is needed.
  • Sort by date, take the newest ten, and work them the same week. A permit from three months ago is already covered.
