Spending for 2021 is up 8%, but nonresidential buildings spending is down 5%. Jobs growth without volume growth to support those jobs is a productivity decline, increasing inflation. That should impact jobs, but we have not seen jobs react to volume losses as would be expected.
Volume, spending minus inflation, is expected to bottom in mid-2022. Res +9%, Nonres Bldgs +12%, Nonbuilding +2%.Īt the end of 2021, Nonresidential construction has not yet experienced the maximum downward pressure from the pandemic. Res +20%, Nonres Bldgs +14%, Nonbuilding +8%. Res +6%, Nonres Bldgs -19%, Nonbuilding -17%. The most unexpected change was that residential spending continues a strong increase. Those lower starts reduced nonresidential construction spending in 2020, but more-so in 2021, and in some markets will extend lower spending into 20. Last time that happened was 20, the only two other times that happened in the last 35 years.Ī significant impact of the pandemic on construction is the loss of spending due to the massive reduction in nonresidential construction starts in 2020. Spending for 2021 was up 8%, but after adjusting for inflation, real volume after inflation was down. In this case the starts declined in 2020, but that 2020 decline was so broad and so deep, even with an increase in starts in 2021, backlog to start 2022 has not yet recovered (to the start of 2020). Backlog is rarely down and then usually when starts have been down the previous year. Construction starts were up in 2021, but backlog leading into 2022 is still down from 2020. The construction data leading into 2022 is unlike anything we have ever seen. Signifies no slowdown in residential spending at least next 6 months. Dec, Jan, Feb and Mar all near the highest monthly total on record.
Also the average final demand increase cost for nonres bldgs is up 5% in the 1st quarter.Ĥ-19-22 > For the past 5 months, residential construction starts ($ by Dodge) posted the highest 5mo total ever recorded.

Update 4-13-22 > PPI Inputs for March show residential inputs up 9% ytd for 3 months. Revised 2022 forecast Residential Inflation 11.1%, nonresidential buildings 5.7%, and Non-bldg Infra (public works) 5.6%. Revised 2021 Residential Inflation 13.9%, Nonres Bldgs 9.2%, Non-bldg Infra Avg 8.5%.
Eight out of ten indices that were updated to Q4’21-Q1’22 data increased. These updates modify some of the inputs to 2021 inflation and will likely push 2022 inflation higher than originally forecast. These issues are all present now and all work to increase inflation. Wage offerings are increasing (up 6% in 2021), productivity is declining (down 7% in last 4 years) and there are many instances of material shortages or delays in delivery (lumber, windows, roofing, cabinets, mechanical equipment, appliances, etc.). High levels of activity often lead to higher levels of inflation. Feb 2022 total was the highest level of new starts on record. New construction starts reported by Dodge thru Feb are up 15% over the same period in 2021, with residential at a new high and nonresidential near the previous high. No single solution will resolve the situation.” The ENR BCI (Building Cost Index), an inputs index, is up 5.3% year-to-date for the first 4 months of 2022.ĪGC April Construction Inflation Alert“The construction industry is in the midst of a period of exceptionally steep and fast-rising costs for a variety of materials, compounded by major supply-chain disruptions and difficulty finding enough workers-a combination that threatens the financial health of many contractors. Mortenson’s cost indexof nonresidential buildings data recently updated to Q4’21 now shows the annual average for 2021 moved up from 12.6% to 16% over 2020. Thru February 2022, over the last 4-5 months, the yoy rate of increase in this index has jumped from 12% yoy to 17% yoy.
The index has posted steady growth throughout 2021. Census Single-Family house Construction Indexgained only 4% in 2020. UPDATE 4-4-22 these updates are not included in the downloadable written report or the tables below in this post.

The level of activity has a direct impact on inflation.Ģ-10-22 See the bottom of this post to download a PDF of the complete article. When activity is high, there is a greater opportunity to submit bids on more work and bid margins may be higher. When the activity level is low, contractors are all competing for a smaller amount of work and therefore they may reduce margins in bids. One of the best predictors of construction inflation is the level of activity in an area. However, the level of construction activity has a direct influence on labor and material demand and margins and therefore on construction inflation.

The most watched indicators of the rate of inflation are the costs of various construction materials and the labor needed to install them.
