39 of 60 active projects

The Pennsylvania building-envelope pipeline is unusually early-stage: 39 of 60 active projects (65%) have not reached a bid board yet. Buyer concentration is low: 48 distinct public owners across 6 counties, none holding more than 3 of the 60 tracked projects. Broad coverage beats any single relationship in a market shaped like this. The buyer mix splits mainly between school districts (30%) and municipal governments (15%). 13 of those pre-bid projects are at pre-bid, the stage where an early conversation can still shape the scope.
