CONSTRUCTION LEADERS INCREASINGLY VIGILANT
AS ECONOMY HINTS AT DOWNTURN

2019 was a time of ups and downs for the U.S. economy and the construction sector weathered a few challenges to its economic outlook as well.

Overall the industry did well on many levels despite warnings from economists, pundits and others pointing to a slowdown of the U.S. economy. To the contrary, many construction leaders reported that business had never been better.

2020 COULD SEE CONSTRUCTION GROWTH THROTTLED
BY COSTS, LABOR AND BEARISH OWNERS

Next year could be a pivotal one for commercial construction, according to two of the industry’s top economists. The question is, though, which way will it pivot?

While there are several bright spots in the U.S. economy, including low interest rates, high consumer confidence and a pickup in residential construction, some indicators are pointing to a slowdown. For instance, the U.S. gross domestic product fell from 3% in the first quarter to 1.9% in the third.
