The work
What Edinburgh's building applications are for, and where.
30% of Edinburgh's 676 building applications in the last 12 months were extension, then single-storey extension (196).
The work clusters in EH4 (115), EH10 (76) and EH12 (71): those three postcode districts filed 39% of it.
Filings ran at about 71 a month over the last 5 full months, peaking in September 2026 with 89.
That is 16% of everything filed with City of Edinburgh Council in the year (4,104 applications); the rest is other trades' work, adverts, trees and paperwork.

How many builder leads are there in Edinburgh?
208 in the 90 days to 21 Oct 2026, and 676 in the 12 months to the same date: planning applications filed with City of Edinburgh Council that match our rules for bricklayers & building contractors at high or medium confidence. Refused and withdrawn applications are not counted, and nothing is estimated.
What building work gets filed in Edinburgh?
In the last 12 months: extension (201), single-storey extension (196), conservatory or orangery or porch or garden room (98) and two-storey or first-floor extension (39). Single-storey shells start 0–3 months after consent; two-storey 0–4.
Which parts of Edinburgh file the most building work?
By postcode district over the last 12 months: EH4 (115), EH10 (76), EH12 (71), EH14 (63) and EH15 (43). Your list can cover the whole council, a few districts, or a radius around your yard.
How quickly does City of Edinburgh Council decide planning applications?
The statutory target for a householder application is eight weeks in England and Wales and two months in Scotland. A letter sent the week an application is filed in Edinburgh lands well before the decision, and long before the homeowner starts ringing round.
Can another builder in Edinburgh get the same list?
Not from us while you hold it. Exclusive cover is one firm per trade per patch, and we check your patch is free before you pay. The register itself is public, so anyone can read it: what you pay for is the reading, the matching, the deduplication and a list your printer can post the same day.
How do I get the addresses?
Subscribe to Demand Radar for £149 a month. Your first list arrives within 24 hours, then only new homes every month, as a CSV your printer or mailing house can run as it is. Addresses are for letters to "The Owner/Occupier" only: no names, no phone numbers.
