Buying signals

Where the money is moving in Orlando-Kissimmee

Federal contracts and building permits are early signs that a building is changing: new construction, a renovation, a re-roof.

Federal contracts performed in the metro

Federal agencies obligated $7.25 billion in contracts with a place of performance in Orlando-Kissimmee's counties in federal fiscal year 2026 (October 2025 to September 2026), against $9.82 billion in fiscal 2025 (-26.2%). Construction (NAICS 23) took $63.4 million, 31% of it on one award: the Department of Veterans Affairs's 36C77626C0071 (opens in a new tab) in Orange County, $19.9 million obligated this fiscal year (the award record describes it as CONTRACTOR SHALL PREPARE SITE FOR BUILDING OPERATIONS, INCLUDING DEMOLITION & REMOVAL OF EXISTING STRUCTURES, FURNISH LABOR & MATERIALS, AND PERFORM WORK FOR EXPAND RADIOLOGY & ONCOLOGY AT THE ORLANDO VAMC AS REQUIRED...).

Market view

What we see in Orlando

Osceola County holds only 11% of the Orlando metro's larger buyer sites, but two of the five projects we track are there. Orlando Health has filed plans for a full-service hospital with a patient tower and its own central energy plant at the Tupperware campus in Kissimmee. ELSPES starts phase one of a silicon capacitor manufacturing campus at NeoCity in January 2027. Both are heavy mechanical, electrical and fire protection jobs, and both will need service contracts once they run. In Orange County, the Grand Concourse addition at the convention center is under construction through 2029 beside a working venue, and AdventHealth's downtown tower targets 2030.

Janitorial and general contracting are crowded here. Commercial cleaning ranks #95 of 100 markets for room, with 2.1 larger sites per firm, and commercial construction ranks #92 after its establishment count grew 27.3% from 2021 to 2025. Flooring is the exception: 31 flooring contractors cover 2,539 larger sites, ranking #20 of 68, and the trade's top buyer, apartment management companies, sits at 1.50x the U.S. mix.

For HVAC, the buyer to chase is the medical office. Medical, dental and outpatient offices added 430 establishments in the latest year, more than any other category in the metro, and they are the largest buyer group for commercial mechanical work in Orlando. Average highs of 71 degrees in January mean cooling equipment rarely gets a rest before the August peak.

Electrical went the other way from construction. Electrical contractors fell from 260 to 249 between 2021 and 2025, which leaves Orlando at #43 of 100 for electrical room, against #63 for HVAC. CoreSite's proposed second data center building on John Young Parkway, awaiting a permit, would be mostly electrical, cooling and fire suppression work.

The rates are Abstrakt sales center, Performance Intelligence, national, October 2026, across all programs, not Orlando results; the scenarios use the slower and faster quarter of buyer industries.

The screens are the demo set to the Orlando territory; its territory counts come from the demo data, not the Census figures above.

Read the transcript of Ava's Orlando walkthrough

Hi, I'm Ava.

Here's what an Abstrakt program looks like in Orlando.

First, we size your territory.

The Orlando area has about 59 thousand companies and 271 thousand business contacts.

Next, we pick the playbook for your industry.

Each playbook starts with criteria that have already booked meetings.

For roofing, that's roof size, roof age and who owns the building.

Then we build the list.

Anyone who isn't a fit comes off before a rep ever sees the name.

Every prospect gets a full profile.

The decision-maker, the building, and every touch so far.

Before the first dial, each rep practices in an AI role play and gets certified.

Now the calls start.

The dialer, the talk track and the follow-up all live in one place.

Every meeting is reviewed for quality before it reaches you.

And we track each one all the way to closed.

We take one client per trade per territory.

Once a spot is taken, it's gone.

Check if your trade is still open in Orlando.

Outsourced sales development in Orlando, answered

Does Abstrakt provide B2B lead generation and appointment setting in Orlando?

Yes. Abstrakt runs outsourced lead generation and B2B appointment setting across the Orlando-Kissimmee-Sanford, FL metro from its St. Louis sales floor: U.S.-based reps prospect the buildings, qualify the opportunity and book meetings with the person who signs. We take one client per trade per territory.

How does B2B appointment setting work for a Orlando program?

It starts with the list. Of the 6,262 sites in Orlando-Kissimmee with 20 or more people on site, we keep the ones that buy your trade inside your service area, then a certified rep works them by phone, email, LinkedIn and direct mail. Meetings are booked with the decision-maker, reviewed before they reach you and tracked to a proposal and a close.

Which commercial trades have the most room to grow in Orlando?

Measured by larger buyer sites per contractor across the markets we track (a market is ranked for a trade only where it has at least 10 local contractors), commercial flooring (#20 of 68), paving & asphalt (#40 of 94) and commercial electrical (#43 of 100) rank best in Orlando.

What kinds of businesses are concentrated in Orlando?

Compared with the national mix, Orlando-Kissimmee has more auto dealerships (1.53x), private k-12 schools (1.52x) and apartment and residential property managers (1.50x). Those industries are the best-represented buyers for trades that serve them.

Is the Orlando business market growing?

Yes, on both counts below. Private business establishments across Orlando-Kissimmee's counties went from 85,642 in 2021 to 94,133 in 2025 (+9.9%), and private employment +16.1% (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages, annual averages). In the latest Census count, 9,584 establishments opened and 7,786 closed in the metro (U.S. Census Bureau, Business Dynamics Statistics, 2023, March to March), so openings ran ahead of closings by 1,798.

How much federal construction money is spent in Orlando?

Federal contract obligations with a place of performance in Orlando-Kissimmee's counties came to $7.25 billion in federal fiscal year 2026 (October 2025 to September 2026), $63.4 million of it in construction (NAICS 23) (USAspending.gov (U.S. Department of the Treasury), retrieved 2026-10-15). Fiscal 2026 will still rise as delayed defense contract actions post.

Is Orlando a good market for commercial flooring contractors?

Yes, it is one of the less crowded trades in the metro. Orlando ranks #20 of 68 markets for flooring room, with 81.9 larger buyer sites per contractor. The convention center's Grand Concourse and AdventHealth's new tower both carry flooring packages, and apartment managers, the trade's top buyer, run at 1.50x the national concentration.

How concentrated is federal construction spending around Orlando?

Heavily. One Department of Veterans Affairs award in Orange County, which expands radiology and oncology at the Orlando VA medical center, accounts for 31% of the metro's $63.4 million in fiscal 2026 construction obligations. Construction is a small slice of the $7.25 billion total, which fell 26.2% from fiscal 2025, so for most contractors the owners to call are hospital systems and campuses such as AdventHealth, Orlando Health and UCF. The larger federal line in the metro is IT, with $176.2 million under the computer systems code, which matters more to managed IT providers than to builders.

When do hail and wind storms hit the Orlando area?

Spring into early summer. May, April and June carried 61% of the 236 hail and damaging wind reports from 2015 to 2024, and October through December logged almost none. Roofers have added firms, growing from 74 to 83 between 2021 and 2025, and roofing ranks #70 of 89 markets for room, so an Orlando roofer needs reroof and maintenance accounts booked before May rather than waiting on storm calls.

Which counties make up the Orlando market?

The metro covers 4 counties. Orange County, Seminole County and Lake County hold 88% of the larger business sites, so most programs start there.

What does outsourced sales development cost in Orlando?

Starting at $5,000 per month for an Outbound BDR program, as a flat monthly program. The price depends on how many reps work your program, the channels, and how large a territory and how many trades it covers. For comparison, one in-house SDR costs about $124,700 in year one at a $55,000 base salary on our illustrative model, before ramp time.
