How we count.
Evidence
The overall filing pattern
In this dataset, filings rise through late winter, peak in spring and remain relatively busy into early summer before easing in autumn.
The index below shows the pattern in the records. It does not establish the best month for a particular project or predict review times.
- Busiest month
- March
- Quietest month
- November
- Busiest month, index
- 1.10
The index compares each month with an average month in the records. It describes the filing pattern, not review times or project deadlines.
Categories have different patterns
Roofing records are more concentrated in late winter and early spring, mechanical work in early summer, and electrical service in late summer.
Weather, maintenance needs and filing practices may contribute, but the records do not establish the causes.

Planning around the calendar
Discuss design, review and construction schedules with the practice and contractor. Seasonal counts can provide context, but they do not show a reviewing office's current workload or a contractor's availability.
Allow time for project-specific preparation and ask the relevant parties about current scheduling.
