What each issue contains
Each issue lists the posts published since the one before, grouped into the Data and AI categories. Data posts cover public releases such as housing starts and producer prices, and show how to compute measures such as labor burden and equipment rates. AI posts cover product releases and research on AI in construction, with who made each claim and what was measured.
