2008 Hot Markets for Architectural & Engineering Design Firms
ZweigWhite recently released the 2008 AEC Industry Outlook: Strategy and Insight for Design & Construction Firms. This report is available from the publisher for $295, plus $8 shipping and handling. Copies can be ordered online.
They describe this document as follows, “Filled with charts and tables, the 2008 AEC Industry Outlook provides a comprehensive forecast for the U.S. economy as a whole along with breakdowns of economic and AEC industry activity for each region of the U.S. The report also includes information on select international markets, so you can get information on markets around the world or in your backyard- all in one place.”
Civil Connection recently commented on this report.
The 2008 AEC Industry Outlook identified five hot markets to watch in 2008:
- Health Care
- Higher Education
- Power and Energy
- K-12 Schools
- Telecommunications
Two of last year’s markets did not make the list this year: water supply & wastewater, and highways & bridges.
It is not surprising that the 2008 AEC Industry Outlook projects that residential construction will continue to decline through the first half of 2008.
