Spellings of one name are counted together. A name is whatever the permit office recorded as contractor or applicant business. The value is the sum printed on the permits that name the firm, not what the firm was paid: some offices print a whole project's value on every permit pulled for it, so a subcontractor can carry the full value of the building it worked on.

What these figures rest on
How many of the matched permits publish each thing a figure on this page needs.
Contractor or applicant business is published on 61 of 335 matched permits, so figures that need it rest on that few.
55 of 141 sizes are footprints read from dimensions written in the work description (40x60), not a published floor area.
1398 pre-application screenings in the window are counted apart: a screening and the permit that follows it are one project.
39990 filings in the window are records or zoning requests, not construction, and are left out of every share.
A market is matched by keywords in the text the permit office published, not by a reviewer reading each permit.
