ABI January 2022: Entering 2022, architecture firms continue to see steady growth
Business conditions at architecture firms entering 2022 were essentially the same as when they ended 2021, with an Architecture Billings Index (ABI) score of 51.0 in January, the same as the revised December score (any score over 50 indicates billings growth). This makes 12 straight months of positive readings for the ABI. However, over this period the pace of growth of the ABI has clearly moderated.
