Market read · who's building here
Rebuild market

38% of approvals are new builds or demolitions, so knock-down-rebuild is a genuine slice here, not just extensions.

Big-ticket jobs

the typical $61k approval is about 9% of the $662k median home, these are substantial transformations, not cosmetic touch-ups.

Lifestyle spend

27% of approvals are pools, decks and fencing, a discretionary-spend signal for pool, landscape and fencing trades.
