Top 5 by home addition permits filed in the last 12 months. This is volume, not quality: a busy firm is not necessarily a careful one.
Before you move a slider, the list is in a default order built only from the permit record: how much of each firm’s record is this kind of job (weight 30), how often its permits reached completion (25), how many permits it filed in the last 12 months (15) and how quickly its permits closed (10). Each measure is ranked against the other 81 firms and pulled toward the middle when a record is short; a firm with a matched license problem is listed last.
