December 26, 2005—McGraw-Hill Construction has launched a new online store dedicated to providing access to more than 8,000 of its analytic offerings, including forecasts, trend analysis, historical reviews, and market snapshots.
The new store, operated by ECNext, provides easy online access to lower-priced items that can give forecast or historical information on a state or metro area or a snapshot of a particular market, such as healthcare or green building, the company says.
These analytic offerings are created by McGraw-Hill Construction’s 40-person group of economists, engineers, analysts, and market research professionals using the project data collected into McGraw-Hill Construction’s database of construction starts, which at any one time contains over 600,000 projects across the US, the company says.
McGraw-Hill Construction has been compiling statistics on construction since the early 1900s and has a comprehensive database dating back to the 1960s that remains active today, providing accurate data for trend and historical analysis. McGraw-Hill Construction’s statistics are a key input to the US Bureau of the Census’ construction value-in-place series, and its construction starts are tracked by the Federal Research Board and regional banks to monitor activity for the industry.
McGraw-Hill Construction, part of The McGraw-Hill Companies, connects people, projects and products across the design and construction industry. For more information, visit the Web site.
