Construction-materials price index and forecast time series

FLUME (TRYFLUME.AI)Manage supplier listing

Construction-materials price index and forecast time series: price trends, forward forecasts, and a per-material scorecard (current direction, model confidence, year-over-year change, volatility) across dimensional lumber (2x4-2x12), engineered wood (LVL, I-joists, glulam) and structural panels (plywood, OSB) — overlaid with supply-chain risk assessments, mill-region freight context, lead-time ranges, and fitted seasonal patterns. Published as one index page per material, so the asset is a multi-material panel rather than a single series.

Dataset card

Type: not stated
Format: Tabular / numeric time series rendered as web dashboards and scorecards, with structured forecast and confidence fields; no public download or documented API surface is disclosed on the page
Volume: Small but dense: at least three lumber product families with multiple sub-products each, each carrying a price history, forecast, scorecard, risk register and seasonal fit. Across the wider index hub this is plausibly tens of material series at daily-to-weekly resolution — likely well under 100 series in total. Request further research on the exact series count and history length, which the site does not enumerate.
Users: ~100-1,000 registered users (inferred from a San Francisco startup of about 13 staff, no funding round on record, and a self-serve web product launched 2024 — a niche construction-procurement audience)
History: not stated
Update frequency: not stated
Growth: Active — the price-index hub carries a full published taxonomy of material pages and a maintained forecast scorecard, and the company is recorded as a live 13-person San Francisco startup; no dated changelog, release cadence, or open-roles page was available to confirm shipping velocity precisely
Launched: ~2024 (inferred from the company record being created on a data platform in late 2024 and from an LLM-driven procurement product being implausible before 2023; no copyright year, launch post, or press mention gives a firmer date)
