Activity in the collected records

149 work permits · Jul 8, 2026–Oct 30, 2026 by issue / ready date · 408 source names.

149 permits with a positive reported estimate; the median whole-job estimate is $750,000.

CivicBuilds assigns this category from positive new-construction wording in the permit description. A permit can have several work categories; a revision, foundation or related permit is not proof of a separate development.

This is the retained Chicago feed window, not complete city or company history. Administrative records, unclear work scope, renewals and records absent from the current source are excluded. 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.

What do these new construction records establish?

They describe the scope of individual permit filings. They do not establish a construction start, a complete development pipeline, available bids or buying intent. Read related permits to understand whether a filing covers foundations, a whole building or a revision.
