Where can I obtain information about building material usage in the construction of new homes in the United States?
The NAHB Research Center collects data on building material usage through the Builder Practices Surveys – a comprehensive annual survey with thousands of builders across the United States. This survey captures information on all the major building components used for residential construction. Builder Practice Reports provide information on usage and pricing of building products by regions. The reports can be found at the NAHB Research Center Web site.
