In the March Construction Economy Snapshot, ConstructConnect Chief Economist Michael Guckes reported that the February 2025 volume of Total Nonresidential Construction Starts—the sum of Nonresidential Building and Heavy Engineering—was $33.7 billion, a decrease of $13.5 billion, or 28.6%, when compared to January’s revised reading of $47.2 billion.

Guckes provided a list of the top ten Nonresidential Construction Starts by dollar volume through February 2025 (chart below), which includes Heavy, Industrial, Institutional, and Commercial construction categories. 

“A handful of megaprojects sent YTD results for Airports, Power Infrastructure, and Bridges soaring above their peers," the economist said.

Guckes added, “Two projects in Columbus, Ohio, and San Antonio, Texas collectively provided a $3.2 billion boost to Airport starts followed by individual megaprojects in the Bridges and Power Infrastructure subcategories.”
