Each permit counts once; permits are not unique projects. Issue / ready dates do not establish construction starts. Check collection dates and coverage ↗

Companies named on these permits

A name on the same permit does not establish who hired whom or which company performed the whole job.

Do these permits identify commercial fit-out opportunities?

Some describe commercial work, but this collection also includes residential alterations. The source description and use evidence need to be checked for each record. A permit does not establish purchasing responsibility, remaining work or an open contract.
