West Led Gains in Non-residential Building Starts in 2007; Northeast Led in Heavy Engineering Work
Abstract:
The accompanying table, based on Reed Construction Data’s (RCD) record of regional construction starts in full-year 2007 versus full-year 2006, shows that the West (+21.5%) led in terms of percentage gain in the non-residential building category. Among regional percentage increases in heavy engineering work, the leader was the Northeast (+36.5%). The rankings of other regions, in terms of percentage gains and actual dollar volumes of starts in the two type-of-structure categories, are also set out in this story.
