We have been incredibly busy for the past ten or twelve weeks here at Mendel & Company. We have been bouyed through the recession by our niche in the medical / dental field, but in the last quarter we have seen a marked increase in the number of non-medical projects coming our way. It is too early to call this a trend, but I am curious if others are seeing a general increase in commercial construction projects.
Tomorrow morning we have a CING meeting (Construction Industry Networking Group) which I facilitate. We typically have forty or more folks from the industry, both with a commercial and residential focus and so my question to this group will be whether they are seeing this general uptick as well.
My gut-feel for the last quarter was somewhat reinforced this afternoon when I received an update from the Association of General Contracts (AGC) who tracked that construction employment in Colorado improved by 1.9% in May.
I will report back my findings from CING this week. If you have a comment or opinion on the outlook for construction in Colorado, I would love to hear from you.
