Dodge Construction Network reports that nonresidential building starts grew 18 percent last month, driving total starts up 13 percent in May. Get the latest on construction starts based on Dodge’s findings.
Says Sarah Martin, associate director of forecasting at Dodge: “Construction starts rebounded across most sectors in May, bouncing back from a sluggish April. However, year-to-date figures remain below last year’s pace. Ongoing uncertainty around trade policy and the economic outlook is likely to keep construction activity in check in the months ahead.”
