The Broker's Desk is a weekly publication for construction CFOs, owners, and operators running firms between $30M and $400M in revenue. It exists because the people running these businesses deserve better than the trade-press churn and the broker-marketing fluff that dominate the industry's informational landscape.
Every issue is built around three things: the market signals that move your costs, the regulatory and legal developments that move your exposure, and the tools and analysis that help you actually do something about both. Nothing here is generic. Nothing is hedged where a view exists.
Editorial opinions expressed here are independent and drawn from professional experience and publicly available data.
A weekly Lead piece — typically 500–800 words, focused on one signal worth understanding. A running Market Tape of materials, indices, and insurance rate signals, each annotated with what it actually means. A Briefing of the most important news items of the week, with context. A growing library of proprietary calculators built for CFOs and owners, not for insurance professionals.
And a Resource Desk: a curated index of the third-party tools, reports, AI products, and industry publications worth your attention, with one line on each.
