Report shows growing backlog for construction firms
The Associated Builders and Contractors’ analysis on the second quarter of 2016, released at the end of September, showed an increase in nonresidential construction backlog across all regions in the U.S.
Across the Western region, which included Nevada, the association reported a backlog increase of 3.1 percent or 0.21 months. This brings the average number of months on backlog to 7.15.
Also in the report, firms with revenues reaching more than $100 million saw an all-time peak backlog of 14.06 months. That was an increase of 14.8 percent over the association’s first-quarter analysis, which showed a 12.25-month backlog.
The tide could be shifting for the national scene.
“While a handful of commercial construction segments continue to be associated with expanding volumes, for the most part, the average contractor is no longer getting busier,” said ABC Chief Economist Anirban Basu. “While backlog is hardly collapsing, the period of growing in nonresidential construction spending appears to be ending. In fact, nonresidential construction spending data indicates that growth has been slowing for a number of months, something that prior weak CBI readings suggested would occur.”
