Why these jobs
Demolitions, new buildings, larger remodels, reroofing, detached garages and porch or deck rebuilds all tend to produce debris that has to be hauled away. We list every demolition permit, plus other jobs above a minimum reported cost. A job on this list may need a dumpster, but the general contractor decides who is hired, so some jobs will already be covered.
Where the data comes from
These pages use City of Chicago public building permit records, which the city publishes each morning, and subscribers receive them that same morning. We pulled the 498 permits issued from Oct 17 to Oct 22, removed the ones that rarely need contractor services (signs, elevators, fire alarms, paperwork changes and similar), and sorted the rest by trade. Nothing is entered by hand. Job value is the amount the applicant reported on the permit, not a contract price. Source: City of Chicago Building Permits dataset.
