Florida Construction News & Information

10/22/2009 - Twenty large upcoming water treatment and manufacturing construction projects — October 2009

The accompanying table shows 20 of the largest upcoming water treatment and manufacturing construction projects in the U.S.. They are all in the planning stage and are mainly new projects, but may also involve additions and/or alterations.



Shopping centers, hotels, office buildings, medical buildings, educational buildings, libraries and museums, sports and entertainment complexes, industrial projects and government buildings will all be covered on a rotating basis.



There are several reasons for highlighting upcoming large projects. Such jobs have often received a fair amount of media coverage. Therefore, people in the industry are on the lookout for when job-site work actually gets underway. And, as showcase projects, they highlight geographically where major construction projects are proceeding.



Finally, total construction activity is comprised of many small- and medium-sized projects and a limited number of very large developments. But the largest projects, simply by their nature, can dramatically affect total dollar volumes. In other words, the timing and size of these projects have an exaggerated influence on market forecasts.

10/07/2009 - RSMeans’ dollars-per-square-foot construction costs: Four industrial shell types of structure

Accompanying this report are tables and charts based on RSMeans’ measures of dollar-per-square-foot construction costs. The results for 25 major cities are shown for four “industrial shell” types of structure. It is most expensive to build a factory. The second-most expensive is an auto sales garage. Third spot belongs to an aircraft hangar. In last position, and a considerable step down from the other three, is a warehouse. It is almost one-quarter or 25% cheaper to build a warehouse than a three-story factory, on a square footage basis. This story also presents a number of key city cost comparisons. 

10/06/2009 - Single family housing spending up but multi family housing and remodeling still declining

The housing market improved abruptly in July with another large gain in August. However, most of the reported 4.2% August gain was due to a sharp downward revision of July remodeling spending. This is implausible and may well be revised away shortly as several similar huge month to move changes in this market have been, says Reed Construction Data chief economist Jim Haughey.

09/28/2009 - Twenty large upcoming medical and educational construction projects — September 2009
