JUTAKU SANGYO KENKYUSHO

What JUTAKU SANGYO KENKYUSHO does

JUTAKU SANGYO KENKYUSHO (株式会社住宅産業研究所), founded in 1976 and headquartered in Shinjuku, Tokyo with a Kansai branch in Osaka, is a privately held Japanese specialty research and publishing firm focused exclusively on the country's housing industry. The company operates as a B2B information provider to housing manufacturers, regional home builders, rental-apartment developers, and renovation/reform companies, with an editorial product portfolio built around the TACT brand: a monthly TACT magazine, a weekly Housing Industry Express newsletter, a quarterly TACT Reform publication, and a monthly House Maker Report. Its core competitive asset is a proprietary dataset built on construction-permit filings (建築確認申請ベース), which underpins annual ranking publications covering 6,500 home builders across 1,190 local areas in Japan.

The firm monetizes through four revenue streams: recurring subscription revenue across the four periodical publications; one-time sales of specialized research reports and handbooks (e.g., the 2026 National Housing Market Handbook, the '25 Housing Manufacturer Competitive Analysis, the Senior Housing Market Trends and Strategies report at ¥88,000 for members); fee-based seminars delivered in Tokyo, Osaka, and online; and custom consignment research plus lectures/training/consulting for individual housing companies. Member companies receive preferential pricing and allocated seminar seats, creating a tiered engagement model. Distribution is direct via the tact-jsk.co.jp website and a member login portal, supplemented by TACT TV, a video platform for sales-training content.

The business operates in a structurally challenged Japanese new-housing market — TACT's May 2026 cover notes housing starts approaching a 700,000-unit era, a historic low — which limits addressable-market growth but also raises the value of competitive intelligence and differentiation analysis for surviving manufacturers and builders. With 11-50 employees and no disclosed funding, M&A, or institutional ownership, the firm is a stable, founder-era specialty information business that has compounded organically for half a century.
