Jbrec

John Burns Research and Consulting (JBREC) — Building Products Demand Meter — Quarterly installed-volume accounting for 18 major residential building-product categories (decking/porches, countertops, faucets, flooring, plumbing fixtures and others), split by New Construction versus Repair & Remodel, extended with a four-year forward forecast and available as metro/region breakouts.

Jbrec offers (Alternative, Fundamental) — Compact and high-value: 18 product categories × quarterly observations × NC-versus-remodel split × metro/region dimensionality, plus four-year forward forecasts per series. The published series themselves are modest in row count; the underlying microdata behind the estimates (the survey and field research that produces installed volumes) is the far larger asset and is not what is currently sold..

Demand planning and capacity decisions for building-products manufacturers; metro-level remodel-demand sizing for distributor network and M&A decisions; sell-side modelling of home-improvement and building-products earnings (Remodel versus New Construction split is the key sensitivity for names like Home Depot, Lowe's, Ferguson and AWI); a genuine macro use case — a category-by-category remodel volume series is one of the few granular reads on discretionary home spending between official releases; and training/validating nowcast models on the interest-rate, stock-age and real-income driver set.

The data is with 20 years of history.

Coverage spans US; Building Products, Research and Consulting Services; alternative, fundamental; equities.
