Commercial, Institutional, and Health Care Construction Drive ABC’s Backlog Indicator to Highest Level Since Q2 2019
WASHINGTON — Associated Builders and Contractors’ Construction Backlog Indicator increased to 9.2 months in November, according to an ABC member survey conducted Nov. 21 to Dec. 6. The reading is 0.8 months higher than in November 2021.
Backlog is now at its highest level since the second quarter of 2019. The increase in backlog observed in November is largely attributed to contractors with under $30 million in revenue, which now have their highest level of backlog in over three years.
