The Concrete Index.

NYC public construction capital, from commitment to cash.

The Concrete Index tracks the demand side of New York City public construction — which agencies are putting work into the market, who is winning it, and where the dollars are heading. Built entirely on the City's public record.

Methodology & definitions

Source

All figures are drawn live from Recent Contract Awards on NYC Open Data (dataset qyyg-4tf5) — the City Record's public notice of contract awards, maintained by the NYC Department of Citywide Administrative Services. The dataset is updated daily; this page queries it directly every time it loads, so what you see is the current public record.

What counts as an award

Each record is a contract award notice published in the City Record. Dollar values are the contract amounts as published at award. An award notice precedes contract registration with the Comptroller and actual spending — it measures demand entering the market, not cash out the door.

Scope

The index covers the two construction categories in the City's procurement taxonomy: Construction/Construction Services (hard construction) and Construction Related Services (design, engineering, construction management). The scope control above lets you view either or both. Awards with no positive published value are excluded.

Geography

The source data does not carry a structured borough field. The Concrete Index derives borough from the award's title and description text. Awards referencing multiple boroughs are shown as multi-borough; awards with no borough reference — typically citywide programs or requirements contracts — are shown as citywide / unspecified.

The funnel

Awards are the middle of the capital flow. The Pipeline page tracks the stage before this one: dollars the City has committed to capital projects that haven't yet reached the market.

Coverage

The dataset extends back to 2003. The Concrete Index presents the trailing five years, where publication practice is consistent and comparable.
