Groundbreak.
For rebar fabricators, steel suppliers and erectors

Steel and rebar work coming up, market by market

Construction starts and new permits for big structures: towers, warehouses, parking decks and plants. Groundbreak counts the projects that fit rebar fabricators, steel suppliers and erectors in each market it reads, from the last 30 days of filings. Rebar goes in with the foundation, right after the start. Structural steel and misc metals follow once the foundation is in.

On 13 Miami jobs we measured, the steel and rebar permit landed a median 308 days after the first building permit, and three in four had it by day 461.
