In the June 2025 Construction Economy Snapshot, ConstructConnect Chief Economist Michael Guckes reported that the May 2025 volume of Total Nonresidential Construction Starts — the sum of Nonresidential Building and Civil Construction — was $77.2 billion, an increase of $12.8 billion, or 19.8%.
The latest results pushed Nonresidential spending growth into positive territory, up 6.9%, for the first time this year.
Guckes said, “Five megaprojects contributed over $30 billion to the month’s total starts spending, setting a record.”
“Strong megaproject activity in consecutive months has lifted the 12-month moving average of megaproject spending to $12.3 billion.”
The list of the top ten Nonresidential Construction Starts by dollar volume reported includes Heavy, Industrial, Institutional, and Commercial construction categories.
