Projects on the move

myBina captured 520 recorded status changes on existing projects during July 2026, 75.7% higher than June 2026. Broken down, 100 moved from Tender / Evaluation to Construction - Site Works; 83 moved from Construction - Piling & Foundation Works to Construction - Structural; 39 moved from Construction - Site Works to Construction - Structural. The figure counts changes recorded against a new revision within the month, so it should be read as a minimum.

How these numbers are built

What a "new project" is. A project counted in July 2026 is one myBina first reported that month. That is a reporting date, not a groundbreaking date — a job may have been planned or tendered earlier. This is a measure of what entered the record in the month.

Value is an estimate. Many records state a value band rather than a figure, so the midpoint of the band is used. 446 of 446 records this month (100.0%) carry a value we can total; the rest contribute nothing, so the total is a floor rather than a market size.

One sector per project. Sector shares use each project's main category, so they add to 100%. Award status is the exception: a project can carry more than one, and that table is counted per status.

Stage changes are recorded, not inferred from site activity. A change is counted when a project's new revision carries a different stage from its previous one. Changes corrected within an existing revision are not visible to this count, which makes it a minimum.

Scope. Verified, live project records only. Cancelled records are excluded, and residential records classified as private bungalow or private housing are excluded from the named projects.

Frozen on publication. These figures were computed on 20 October 2026 and are not recalculated, so a figure cited from this page stays as cited.
