The U.S. represents one of the strongest markets for building and construction across the globe. Expenditures currently exceed $1.2 billion U.S. It should be noted that during this post-recession phase, construction projects have recommenced and are on an upward trend. New construction is most evident in the Pacific and South Atlantic regions of the U.S. As one of the largest construction firms based in America, Bechtel is also one of the largest construction contractors in the country. This is primarily based on the revenues of the company whose headquarters are located in San Francisco.
Strong Growth across the U.S. Anticipated
In 2018, private construction spending in the U.S. was around $992 billion. Planned new construction is expected to exceed $1.53 trillion by the year 2022. Positive movement within the residential building and construction market is based on different factors though declining oil prices were blamed in large part for the slowing demand in the construction and engineering sector. However, construction companies and their investors may be focusing more on the Midwest and South regions of the country. Across the country, as aging infrastructure is replaced, more spending will occur as updates become necessary.
