A continued list of tips for using HBW permit data and leads to benefit your business in 2022
Last week, we took a little time to review some of the
easiest ways to use HBW construction data reports to benefit your business. Today, we are continuing the list and adding
three more ways to utilize your leads and permit data generated from HBW.
Moving on from the basics in Part I, here are a few more steps you can take to map out the right path for applying HBW’s reports to your marketing strategy and efforts in the coming year:
Follow the Values – Do you know where higher value construction projects are taking place? Do you know which communities have a higher saturation of new construction and/or remodels? This information can easily be gathered by using the permit data provided in HBW reports. By tracking project values and identifying where industry money is going in your state, region or county, you can tighten or expand your market focus to where interest and expenses for your services are on the rise.
Move Away from Declines– While every region will have its fair share of ebb and flow when it comes to residential and commercial construction, a marked and consistent decline in new construction and renovations may be a signal to shift your marketing efforts to a more favorable region. By using construction data reports from the archives, you can analyze construction patterns in different regions over a period of time to move away from declining projects and hone in on the counties and regions where your services will be in greatest demand.
Let History be Your Guide – In addition to providing insight on patterns in various markets, historical data can also be your guide for predicting where and which properties will need renovations. From aging roofs and flooring to swimming pool upgrades and property maintenance, you can strategically use permit data to cater to property owners’ current and future needs.

A guide for using your HBW permit data and leads (Part I)
With the holidays upon us and the new year just around the
corner, now is the perfect time for a little inspiration and focus for
marketing efforts in the new year. Today
(and in future posts), we are going to explore some of the best ways to utilize
your leads and permit data generated from HBW.
If you are already an HBW subscriber, then you are probably well aware of the options you have for reports. From building trends, quarterly and annual market overviews to regional and builder-specific reports, there are countless ways to work with the data to best suit your needs.
For this reason, we are starting with the basics in Part I
to get you started in building your plan and map for using HBW’s reports in the
coming year:
Build a Database – While this one may seem obvious, it is important that when you build a database, you design it for long-term success. Your database is only as good as the information entered, and how well that information is managed and updated. Whether you choose to use a popular CRM (Customer Relationship Management) System, or you build your own database internally, it should allow for live updates from your sales team, include a key and codes for status updates, and have the capacity to expand and grow with your team as you make progress.
Stay Updated – Storing contacts is one thing, but keeping those contacts updated and accurate is an entirely different ballgame. From new information received in HBW reports to feedback and actions taken by your team members, tracking activity and changes with your contacts is crucial for success. Whether there are changes to ownership and property status or service areas and customer relationships, all progress should be clearly tracked, updated and easy to identify and filter.
Understand Your Market – If we have learned anything from the last year or two, it is that things change, and sometimes those changes can be rather unexpected. For this reason, it is important to have your finger on the pulse of the market in which you are focused. By using historical data from HBW’s archives and reviewing current permit data, you can begin to understand and even predict patterns in the market. Through this practice you can identify where the demand is and will be for your services, the average value of construction in specific regions, leading competitors within any given area, fluctuations in the value of property and construction projects, and more.
While the above listed actions are just a few of the many ways to utilize HBW’s construction data and building trend reports, they play an important role in understanding your target audience and market.

Today, we are taking a deeper dive into HBW construction
data reports to review permit data and identify contractors that carried the
greatest amount of new residential construction activity during the month of November. While many home builders have a regional
focus, there are two industry leaders that continue to stand out by having high
levels of new construction activity in all regions across the Sunshine State –
Both D.R. Horton and Lennar Homes were responsible for more than 20 percent of
new home construction in Florida last month, having 1,118 and 895 new permits
on record with HBW respectively.

An HBW review of Florida counties and regions with the highest concentration of new residential construction activity during the month of November 2021
Based on HBW’s latest construction data reports for new
residential construction in Florida, there were nearly 8,000 housing starts
throughout the Sunshine State during the month of November. Out of the five major regions reviewed
(Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville, Southeast, Southwest), Tampa ranked #1 for total
new permits (2,061 permits), while Orlando carried the highest average value of
new home construction (average value: $304,640).
When taking a look at residential construction from a
county-by-county perspective, activity was somewhat spread across the state
with the most permits originating from the central and southwestern regions. Upon closer review, it is evident that nearly
30 percent of all new home construction in Florida originated from three counties
last month.
Here is a closer look at the three leading counties for new
residential construction during the month of November 2021:
Lee County
As Florida’s eighth-most populous county (population estimates
– 2019: 770,577), Lee County carried the highest concentration of new home
construction out of all counties in Florida last month. There were nearly 1,035 housing starts with a
total construction value of approximately $230 million in Lee County during the
month of November; that is more than half of all new residential construction
in the southwestern region of Florida for the one-month period.
Pasco County
Pasco County ranked second-highest last month for new
residential construction activity. While
Pasco is not the largest county in the Tampa area (population estimates – 2019:
561,891), the county has exhibited higher levels of new home construction. Last month, there were 616 housing
starts with a total construction value of approximately $195 million.
Polk County
Also in the Tampa area, Polk County ranked #3 for new
residential construction last month. By
land, Polk County is equal in size to Delaware; the total area of the county is
approximately 2,010 square miles, which makes it the fourth largest county in
Florida (source: Orlando Sentinel). As for population, Polk is ranked ninth with
2019 population estimates reflecting a population of 724,777.
Last month, there were approximately 579 housing starts in Polk County
with a total construction value in excess of $134 million.
Other counties in Florida that held higher concentrations of
new home construction last month were St. Lucie (Southeast) with 553 new
permits and Duval County (Jacksonville) with 449 new permits.

A review of permit data for swimming pool construction in Florida during the month of November 2021
Swimming pool construction in Florida has remained steady and consistent over the last couple of months; similar to October, last month there were nearly 2,700 new swimming pool construction permits with a total value of approximately $156 million added to the HBW database. Out of the five regions reviewed (Southwest, Southeast, Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville), the greatest concentration of new pool construction took place in the southwestern region of the state (953 permits), while the highest average value of new pool construction projects remained in the Jacksonville area (average value: $70,880).
Here is a closer look at permit data pulled from the HBW
database for new swimming pool construction in Florida during the month of November:
Southwest
As noted above, the southwestern region of Florida carried
the highest volume of new pool construction activity last month, having 953 new
permits with a total value of approximately $52 million. The average value of new pool construction
landed on the lower end of the spectrum (average value: $54,502) in comparison
to other Florida regions reviewed, and more than 60 percent of all new permits
originated from the counties of Lee (355 permits) and Collier (224 permits).

A list of leading contractors for new home construction
in Texas during the month of November 2021
Earlier this week, we reviewed HBW construction data reports to gain insight on new permit data for residential construction in the four major metro areas of Dallas, Houston, Austin, and San Antonio. Today, we are utilizing the same reports to identify the leading contractors behind those figures that are driving new home construction activity throughout Texas.
When looking at the combined total of new permits statewide,
there are three major players in the industry that are leading new residential
construction in the Lone Star State. Along with D.R. Horton continuing to
dominate Texas when it comes to new home construction, nearly 35 percent of all
new permits on record for November originated from three mega-builders: D.R. Horton (1,575 permits), Lennar Homes (464
permits) and Pulte Homes (390 permits).
Taking a closer look at each metro area, we find that aside
from the three industry leaders, there are a number of contractors that are
holding strong in the market and contributing to increased residential
construction across the state. Here are
the five leading home builders in each of the four major metropolitan areas of
Texas during the month of November 2021:
Houston
Last month, there were more than 330 contractors with new

Tips for connecting and showing your appreciation to customers
during the holiday season
With Thanksgiving behind us and the holidays ahead, there is
no better time than now to express your appreciation to customers. While many
businesses utilize the holidays to promote new products, sales, and exclusive
deals, it is equally as important to take a moment to pause and connect with
customers in a meaningful way. One of the easiest ways to make that connection
is through recognition and appreciation.
For this reason, here are five ways to connect with your
client base simply by saying “thanks”:
Send a Card – While this one may seem obvious, there are important differences in the types of cards a business may send. When sending a card, we are referring to snail mail here, not an e-card. A personalized greeting received in the mail can often be a pleasant surprise for a customer. You can handwrite a personal letter of thanks or send a branded greeting card with a handwritten note to each customer on the back of the card or as an insert. The key is to be personal, authentic, and to let your customer know how much you appreciate their business and look forward to working with them in the new year.
Shout it Out – If you are on social media, then now is the time of year to put your customers in the spotlight. You can do this by posting a letter of thanks and/or highlighting VIPs. For commercial clients, they would certainly appreciate a mention, backlink, and tag in a post. With social media you have room to get creative, and a little “thank you” can go a long way across your network.
Make it Private (and exclusive) – Although you will most likely have some holiday offers for everyone this season, you can go a step further by offering private and exclusive deals to your top clients. Exclusive offers can be in the form of upgrades, as well as additional or deeply discounted products and services. When coming up with ideas, think of the this as your VIP club member benefits; the benefits should be greater than what you offer to the public, and they should only be available to a limited group of select customers.
Deliver it – For some customers, a handwritten thank you letter or shout out on social media may just not be enough. For your top-tier clients, consider designing a branded gift basket to say thank you and happy holidays. The gift basket or package can be as simple or elaborate as you choose, and to make it extra special, have someone from your company hand deliver it when and if possible.
Email it – In addition to the personalized greeting cards, design and send a “thank you” email to all clients and prospects. With email you will have the flexibility to add discount offers, links to pages and products of interest, as well as the ability to track activity and design customized templates for each market segment. This will also give you a chance to validate email addresses and update outdated contact information.
No matter how you choose to say “thanks”, your customers
will appreciate a break from the last-minute holiday deals and sales to receive
a sincere message of gratitude and happy holidays. Whether you choose to go
with one or all of the above listed efforts to say “thanks” this season, you
will be well on your way to nurturing customer relationships, while creating

A review of the leading residential construction contractors in Florida based on permit data on record with HBW for the month of October 2021
Earlier this week, we reviewed new residential construction activity in the Sunshine State during the month of October 2021, and as a result we reported approximately 8,430 new residential construction permits with a total value of nearly $2.4 billion on record with HBW for the one-month period. This week, we are using the same construction data reports to identify the leading home builders driving housing starts in the five regions of Florida (Southwest, Tampa, Southeast, Orlando, Jacksonville).
Statewide, there are two home builders that have consistently
dominated new residential construction – D.R. Horton and Lennar Homes. From the
five regions reviewed, both builders carried more than 25 percent of all new
home construction in Florida last month, having a combined total of 2,174 new permits.
D.R. Horton ranked #1 with 1,321 total new permits, while Lennar Homes ranked #2
with 853 total new permits for the month.
Here is a closer look at the leading home builders by
region, along with the total new permits on record and average value of
construction for the month of October 2021:
