Construction Economy Snapshot: February 2025 | |
|
The construction industry stumbled into 2025, with January's total construction starts dropping more than 30% year-over-year.
Residential construction saw the sharpest decline at 39.1%, followed closely by nonresidential building at 35.7% and even civil construction, which had been a bright spot, dipped 16%. Despite the sluggish start, optimism remains as the new administration's pro-business agenda starts to unfolds --- though inflation, which ticked up to 3%, continues to be a headwind, driving up borrowing costs and putting pressure on project profitability.
Best Performing Large Dollar Categories YTD
- Airports: + 457%
- Sports, Convention Centers: + 41%
- Governmental Offices: + 32%
- Bridges: + 30%
- Water, Sewage, and Treatment: + 23%
Underperforming Large Dollar Categories YTD
- Manufacturing: - 97%
- All Other Civil: - 86%
- Private Offices (incl. Data Centers): - 79%
- Multi-Family: - 69%
- Warehouses: - 55%
Persistent Inflation & Rising Costs
Inflation and rising costs have complicated the landscape, with developers facing higher interest rates and increased vacancy rates in office and industrial properties. While hotel and retail properties fared better in 2024, the uncertain economic environment has many investors weighing whether to build new or buy existing assets.
Still, industry experts remain hopeful that federal initiatives supporting infrastructure and manufacturing will generate new construction opportunities.
Employment Update
On the employment front, the industry added just 4,000 jobs in January, making one of the weakest hiring months in a year. That's a stark contrast to last January's 14,000 new jobs and the hiring surge seen in March 2024. However, wages remain strong, surpassing $39 per hour for the first time, making construction an attractive career option despite the slowdown.
Regional Construction Starts
Regionally, the construction slowdown was most pronounced in the western states, where nonresidential spending dropped by more than 50% year-over-year. The Midwest and Northern Plains fare slightly better with contractions under 10% while the Mid-Atlantic region was the standout performing, with a 14% increase, driven by strong activity in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. As the year progresses, construction spending is expected to level out, but the industry remains at the mercy of economic conditions and shifting federal priorities.
Below are the YTD Nonresidential Starts for the five states covered by MBEX:

ECONOMIC OUTLOOK
π Q1 2025 Cost Report: Construction Execs Optimistic for the Year Ahead
ENR's Construction Industry Confidence Index rose six points between Q4 2024 and Q1 2025 to a rating of 61. Confidence in the economy decreased slightly between this quarter and the last, falling two points to a 56 rating. Over two thirds of survey respondents see a stable economy currently, but more execs see a declining economy both 3-6 months from now and 12-18 months from now, compared with last quarter. (Engineering News-Record)
TARIFFS
πͺ΅ Trump Order Calls for Immediate Expansion of Timber Production
Amid Donald Trump's trade war with Canada, the president signed two executive orders on March 1st that call for the expansion of timber production, and a review of how importing lumber might harm "national security." According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Forest Service, in 2017, the U.S. imported about 16.1-billion board feet of lumber from all countries, with Canada supplying nearly 91% of these imports. (United Press International - UPI)
JOBSITE SAFETY
β οΈ Is Monday Really the Most Dangerous Day on a Jobsite?
'The Monday Effect' is the name given to a phenomenon that suggests the first day of the working week is the most dangerous on construction sites. It's a talking point among construction health and safety experts once again; among the reasons highlighted for this are that new tasks or projects often begin at the start of a week. (Construction Briefing)
CONCRETE
π‘οΈ Low-Carbon Concrete is At a Tipping Point
When workers repaved part of Interstate 94 near Minneapolis last fall, it looked like they were pouring ordinary concrete. But instead, the highway was the first to use a new, near-zero-emissions material. It's one of a series of larger projects to use material from C-Crete, which replaces limestone with other rocks that don't contain CO2, such as granite or zeolite. (Fast Company)
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (A.I.)
π¦Ύ Robot Utilizes AI to Construct Walls in 1-Day
PulteGroup announced the successful pilot of the Hadrian X, an AI-guided construction robot, that is capable of building structural walls in a single day. The automated system uses an advanced robotic arm to place concrete blocks, which are then secured using a specialized adhesive that bonds twice as strong as traditional mortar, per PulteGroup's release.

Great Oaks Academy to Convert Office Building to K-12 School | |
|
Read more on Finance & Commerce
An entity related to Great Oaks Academy of Farmington has acquired a former office building in Eagan with plans to convert it to a charter school.
On its website, Great Oaks Academy says it plans to renovate the existing three-story structure for middle and high school students, a project that will include the addition of two "recreational, multi-purpose spaces" and an "outdoor green space."
In a letter to families, the school said its existing location in Farmington isn't able to support growth for the upper grades, and that the Eagan building is "large enough to accommodate everything" needed for the middle and high school students.
Great Oaks Academy says it's "confident" that the renovation will be complete in time for the 2025-26 school year.
Back in July 2021, the Holy Christian Church International acquired the property, but according to city officials, the church "never fully occupied the site." The property later reverted to its previous owner, Delta Dental of Minnesota.
Last fall, the Eagan City Council approved a "planned development amendment" to allow Great Oaks Academy to occupy the vacant building. In December, the city approved the issuance of up to $18-million in "private activity bonds" to finance the building acquisition and renovation.
Charter schools aren't allowed to own buildings, but they use lease aid from the state to pay the landlord and cover bond payments.
