Year-To-Date Construction Starts Unadjusted Totals, In Millions $ Public works construction has seen the early signs of support from the federal stimulus funding, with more strengthening expected in coming months, stated Robert A. Murray, vice president of economic affairs for McGraw-Hill Construction. Single family housing apparently reached bottom in early 2009, and has now moved upward in six out of the past seven months. For nonresidential building, the positive development is that the rate of descent has eased from the severe declines witnessed in late 2008 and early 2009. At the same time, nonresidential building still faces considerable constraints, such as mounting vacancies, tight bank lending standards, and eroding state fiscal health.

Sept. 18, 2009 At a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $429.8 billion, new construction starts in August advanced 2 percent from the previous month, according to McGraw-Hill Construction, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies. The upward push came from nonbuilding construction, comprised of public works and electric utilities, which has shown an up-and-down pattern for much of 2009. Meanwhile, both housing and nonresidential building in August settled back slightly from the improved levels that were reported in July.
