• Data for copper pricing comes from Trimble's Construction Supply
Chain group.
• All other data—including for project, contract values, hiring and cash
flow—is aggregated from anonymized, real-time data from about 1,000
Trimble Viewpoint customers.
• The data has been secured and masked to protect customer identities.
It was entered into Trimble Viewpoint's software management systems
during the third and fourth quarters of 2023 and compared to the third
and fourth quarters of 2022, as well as compared year-over-year.
• The data is sourced from Trimble Viewpoint's North American clients,
who are located in all 50 states and Canada.
• Some data, including contract values, may be slightly delayed, since
contractors often don't completely enter contract costs until well after
a project begins.
• Data is categorized into three verticals, which companies self-identify
in Trimble Viewpoint's system of record:
Audience
Demographics
› General Contractors: Includes prime contractors in the commercial, industrial,
and custom residential markets who deliver vertical construction projects. They
may or may not self-perform work across one or more trades.
› Heavy Highway/Civil: Includes contractors who often serve as prime on
horizontal construction projects such as roads and bridges, pipelines, energy,
and other utility projects. They often self-perform work even when serving as
prime; for example, paving.
› Specialty Contractors: Includes all trade contractors such as electrical,
mechanical, concrete, drywall, and landscaping. These firms typically serve
as subcontractors on projects; but larger trade contractors, particularly
electrical and mechanical, may also take on the role of prime contractor on
certain projects.
