Yes. ENR has been collecting and publishing price data on 67 different building materials, in 20 major U.S. cities, on a monthly basis for over 50 years. We publish a table of cement and concrete and aggregate prices in our first weekly issue every month, pipe prices the second week, lumber and drywall prices the third week, and steel prices the fourth week. We use a small amount of this data to create two index numbers each month, the Construction Cost Index and the Building Cost Index. The indexes are widely-used benchmarks for measuring inflation. More information about our cost data can be found by clicking here.

ENR publishes nine major lists of construction industry firms each year, all of which rank the firms based on sales revenues. We rank general contractors, design firms (architectural and civil engineering firms), specialty contractors, construction management firms, design-build firms, program management firms, environmental engineering firms, international contractors, and international design firms.

The writer and editor of the story make the decision about whether to add links to an article. Email Scott Lewis, editorial research director, at lewisw@enr.com to request a link.

The person or their project must have been written about during the year in ENR, and must have done something to serve the best interests of the construction industry. The editors select 25 Newsmakers and the Award of Excellence winner each year. If you want to tell us about a person who has made a significant contribution to the industry we certainly want to know. If we have not yet written about them then your call may get us working on a story about them or their project, which will then make them eligible.

We hold two events every year, on the same day, in late March or early April. One is the ENR Newsmaker Awards Luncheon, and one is the ENR Award of Excellence Dinner.

By looking for details on ENR's website in September each year. Every September we post a notice on our website announcing the contest, and inviting anyone who is interested to submit photos. There is only a six week window in which to submit photos. We accept photos in all formats (digital photos sent via e-mail, prints sent in the mail, disks, slides, whatever). The deadline is always in early November. The photos must have been shot during the previous year -- because ENR is a newsmagazine we want the photos to depict current projects and activities.

Our style is, and has been for years, in each article to use the terms used by the construction team (design firm, contractor, owner). That avoids awkward conversions.

For over 100 years ENR, along with our sister magazine, Architectural Record, and the databases F.W. Dodge and Sweets, were part of a business unit called McGraw Hill Construction, a division of McGraw Hill. In 2013 McGraw Hill, the parent company, split into two separate companies, McGraw Hill Financial and McGraw Hill Education. McGraw Hill Construction was part of McGraw Hill Financial. On November 1, 2014, McGraw Hill Financial sold McGraw Hill Construction to a private equity fund, Symphony Technology Group, and McGraw Hill Construction was renamed Dodge Data & Analytics. On July 1, 2015, Dodge Data & Analytics sold ENR and Architectural Record to BNP Media.
