Dodge predicts modest growth level for construction industry in the coming year NEW YORK, N.Y. ��� McGrawHill Construction, part of The McGraw-Hill Companies, recently released its 2013 Dodge Construction Outlook, a mainstay in construction industry forecasting and business planning. The report predicts that total U.S. construction starts for 2013 will rise 6% to $483.7 billion, slightly higher than the 5% increase to $458 billion estimated for 2012. ���As reported by McGraw-Hill Construction, new construction starts in 2010 edged up 2%, followed by another 1% gain in 2011, and 2012 is headed for a 5% increase to $458 billion. This still leaves the volume of total construction starts 32% below the 2005 peak on a current dollar basis, and down about 50% when viewed on a constant dollar basis,��� said Robert Murray, McGraw-Hill Construction���s vice-president of economic affairs. ���The modest gains experienced during the past two years have in effect produced an extended bottom for construction starts, in which the process of recovery is being stretched out,��� he said. ���The fiscal cliff poses a significant downside risk to the near-term prospects for the U.S. economy and continued on next page A hospitality session sponsored by Stateside Steel and Wire will be held Friday, May 17 from 7 p.m. ��� 10 p.m. Profits from the golf outing as well as all funds collected by the chapter will be used to benefit the industry and its members, the chapter noted.
