New York, NY -- (SBWire) -- 05/27/2021 --The impact of the pandemic has been widely felt in construction but new figures indicate that some parts of the industry are getting hit more forcefully than others. Recent statistics from the United States Department of Commerce have revealed that construction spending rose by just 0.2% in March 2021. This was despite previous predictions that this would be closer to a 1.9% increase. Spending on residential construction was more resilient with an increase of 0.7%. There remains considerable demand for residential housing and this is one of the reasons why the numbers for this part of the construction sector are generally more positive. It is in nonresidential construction where the impact of the pandemic is being absorbed more deeply. Analysis from Associate Builders and Contractors suggests that spending was down on a monthly basis in 11 of 16 nonresidential subcategories. Although plenty of the year still remains it's clear that not all of construction is recovering in the same way where the pandemic is concerned.
