The firm at the top — IES Residential, Inc. with 382 permits — is the most active filer in Austin over the period, followed by In Charge Electrical Services (257) and Victory Plumbing Company (237). High-volume filers like these tend to be production builders, large mechanical and electrical shops, or specialty firms running repeatable work like solar, roofing, and windows. For a supplier, a recruiter, or a competing contractor, these are the names that move the most material and book the most jobs in the market.
Permit volume in Austin is concentrated in electrical (3,707), plumbing (3,268), hvac (3,115) work over the last 90 days, so the ranking reflects which trades are busiest as much as which companies are largest.
