Market read · who's building here
Renovate-and-stay

25% of approvals are alterations and additions, so the work here is improving homes, not replacing them, your customer is a settled owner-occupier.

Rebuild market

25% of approvals are new builds or demolitions, so knock-down-rebuild is a genuine slice here, not just extensions.

Lifestyle spend

29% of approvals are pools, decks and fencing, a discretionary-spend signal for pool, landscape and fencing trades.
