摘要

The dollar value of total new construction starts through the first 10 months of this year was $390.4 billion, which was 4% above the same period of 2011, according to McGraw-Hill Construction. Most of the year-to-year gains came from a 28% increase in the dollar value of new residential construction and a 6% increase non-building construction. The non-residential building market continues to show some weakness, with total construction in the first 10 months of this year 14% below a year ago.
