Demand for design services continues to increase

摘要

Architecture firms continue to report increasing demand for design services in September, according to a new report from The American Institute of Architects (AIA). The Architecture Billings Index (ABI) score for September was 56.6, which is up from August's score of 55.6. Any score above 50 indicates an increase in billings from the prior month. During September, scoring for both the new project inquiries and design contracts moderated slightly, but remained in positive territory, posting scores of 61.8 and 54.7 respectively.
