For more than 30 years, CIRB has been the source of prospective and historic information regarding new housing and commercial construction.

Gathered every month directly from cities and counties across the state, CIRB reports deliver the foundational information used by leading economists, lawmakers, regulators, financial institutions and business leaders to help gauge current and future construction industry activity. These reports are not based on projections, but actual data collected in real-time from municipalities throughout California.

If you need to know which markets are hot now and in the future, CIRB's monthly building permit update, California Construction Review, is a “must-have” report. Other important reports include California Public Works Construction and the CIRB Annual Report, which is a comprehensive review of building permit activity across the state. CIRB data are grouped by county, region, city, metropolitan area, by year or month and by type of building (single- and multi-family housing, commercial, industrial, and other building categories).
