FYI
January's Rate of Construction Contracting Slips 3 Percent
The value of new construction contracts retreated 3 percent in January to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $330.2 billion, according to the F.W. Dodge Division of the McGraw-Hill Companies. A moderate loss of momentum was reported for all three of the industry's main sectors nonresidential building, housing, and nonbuilding construction (public works and utilities).
On an unadjusted basis, total construction activity in January was 6 percent below its year ago amount. Nonresidential building was down 10 percent, while residential and nonbuilding construction fell 4 and 2 percent, respectively. By geography, the Northeast and South Atlantic each showed total construction declines of 11 percent, followed by 5 percent declines for the Midwest and South Central regions. The West reported a one percent gain for total construction over the prior year.
