Economic Impact of Construction:

U.S. gross domestic product (GDP)—the value of all goods and services produced in the country—totaled $26.5 trillion at a seasonally adjusted annual rate in the 1st quarter of 2023; construction contributed $1.1 trillion (4.0%).
In Texas, construction contributed $106 billion (4.4%) of the state’s GDP of $2.4 trillion.
There were 919,000 construction establishments in the U.S. in the 1st quarter of 2023, including 61,700 in Texas. (An establishment is a fixed business location; about 99% of construction firms have only one establishment.)
