Posted on by Alex Carrick

Clichés are often true and it is the case that a picture can be worth a thousand words.

Below are six graphs recording 12-month moving averages of ConstructConnect ’s nonresidential construction starts.

When the value of the current month is higher than for the same month a year ago, the line will turn up; when lower, it will dip.

String a couple of similar positive or negative directional changes together over several months and one has a trend.

And that’s what the graphs are designed to do, show improving or deteriorating trends in a dozen major and more granular categories of construction work.

  1. I think it’s only natural there was such a large dip after 07-09 for the majority of services. What I do find interesting is the rise for roadways and highways. It was one of the only services to rise in 10-11 when there apparently wasn’t much money to be spent. I would be interested to see the rise/fall of the residential building property in this time though, if you have that data on hand!

  2. These make for very interesting reading. I like to follow all the trends within the construction industry both in the UK and the US
