  • Wood Products Used In New Residential Construction In The U.S. and Canada.  1998 and 2003.  $2,500. 
  • Wood Products Used In Repair & Remodeling In The U.S. and Canada.  1997 and 2003.  $2,500. 
  • Wood Products Used In Nonresidential Construction In The U.S.,  2003.  $2,500. 

This update of the 1995 study is now available for purchase.  Although much of the detail parallels the 1995 presentation, the methodology of this study dug much deeper into the nonresidential marketing with an expanded sample size and a higher confidence level.  The data has been carefully reviewed for plausibility by industry analysts, and represents the best overall picture of softwood consumption and potential in this market currently available.  Click here for more information.

  • Potential For Increased Wood-Use In North American Nonresidential Markets.  March 2001.

The nonresidential construction market is very large; but not yet substantially penetrated by wood products.  Nonresidential construction users and specifiers were surveyed to determine barriers to wider use of wood products, document existing perceptions about wood products, to identify opportunities for improved technology transfer and to provide recommendations for wood product promotional strategies.

  • Wood Products Used In Industrial Markets. 2000. 

This study identified and categorized the main industrial manufacturing industries in the U.S. that are likely to use wood products.  Surveys were conducted to provide estimates of wood product consumption by each industry, to learn about volume trends, to identify non-wood substitutions and to identify areas for future study either because of risk of loss or potential for growth.
