Permit and housing start data, major infrastructure project groundbreakings and construction timelines, labor shortage and workforce development news, contractor and subcontractor business conditions, and the material cost and supply chain pressures that affect project economics are the recurring subjects here. New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston and Phoenix are among the most active construction markets in the country, and permit, starts and major project news from those cities drives much of the national coverage of where building activity is concentrated. Infrastructure legislation funding has added a large and sustained project pipeline to construction coverage, as federal dollars move through state and local governments into specific projects that generate news at each stage from design through completion. Construction workforce shortages — in both skilled trades and general labor — have become a persistent structural story that runs beneath the project and market coverage and shapes the industry's capacity to execute on the demand it faces.
