STARTS are defined as constuction has started.
PERMITS are future constuction projects that will eventually turn into STARTS.
Although sometimes permits are filed and then never started or delayed indefinetly.

Who are you a lumber broker for. I am a lumber broker too. I have my own company but worked for American International for 8 years.

OK, you've confirmed what I was thinking as well and therefore it raises the question of how important are the PERMITS ISSUED numbers. If they are nothing more than "wishful thinking", why are they a significant factor in gaging the health of the building industry? Why not just factor in the STARTS?
