What Denver Is Building
The 90-day trade breakdown shows a market led by ground-up and major construction, with a healthy spread of mechanical and exterior trades underneath:
- General Construction — 2,361 permits. The dominant category — new builds, major renovations, and structural work across the metro.
- HVAC — 559 permits. Mechanical work driven by Denver's wide temperature swings and steady new construction.
- Plumbing — 439 and Electrical — 418 permits.
- Roofing — 275 permits. A trade that spikes in Colorado after hail and storm seasons.
- Fire Protection — 139 and Demolition — 73 permits.
For general contractors, framers, and suppliers, the 2,361 general-construction permits are the headline — a current roster of active projects across Denver. For the specialty trades, the HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and roofing volume flags properties where work is underway and follow-on jobs are common.
Freshness Over Phone Numbers
It is worth being straight about what Denver gives you and what it does not. Denver's permit records are lighter on published contractor phone numbers than markets like Austin — only a small share of Denver permits carry a contact phone, and PermitGrab tracks 572 contractor profiles in the city today. So the Denver value proposition is not a pre-loaded call list; it is speed and address-level accuracy. Every permit carries a verified property address, the trade, the project value, and the filing date, refreshed daily — so the moment a job is permitted, you can see it and reach the property. With a verified address and a fresh, dated permit, the owner and contractor lookup is fast.
Who Should Work Denver
General contractors and subs use the general-construction stream to find projects staffing up right now. Roofing and exterior contractors watch the roofing and general-construction permits, which climb after Colorado's hail seasons. HVAC, plumbing, and electrical shops work the mechanical-trade permits and the new-construction pipeline that needs full systems. And building-material suppliers and reps get a daily-refreshed list of which builders are active in the metro.
How PermitGrab Sources Denver Leads
