The Construction Industry Research Board has left the building

The Building Industry Association of Southern California, Inc. (BIASC) has discontinued the operations of the Construction Industry Research Board (CIRB) due to the recession’s impact on CIRB revenue.

CIRB, a nonprofit research center reporting for builders, provided statistical information on the California building and construction industry.

Presently, CIRB is working with various groups who are interested in providing CIRB data reports in an effort to get others to carry on their work. Although CIRB will be releasing late reports for current data, the research board is issuing refunds to subscription holders who do not want to wait for delayed reports.
