Supplementary notes

The data for each quarter came from previous editions of the same publication.

The contractors contacted for these surveys do projects in the commercial and institutional sectors of the U.S. (including multifamily residential). The number of contractors that responded to the survey has suffered slight variations from quarter to quarter, ranging from a minimum of 207 contractors in each survey to a maximum of 215. In all cases, their demographics had a similar distribution regarding the type and size of the company, their job function, and the location.
