Construction is big business in America. Not only is it responsible for building big things, its equipment is big, its vehicles are big and its employment is big. Over 7 million men and women are employed by the construction industry, which generates over $1 trillion annually. There are over 72,000 construction companies right here in California, the largest number in any state, and the industry has hundreds if not thousands of major equipment needs.

No business was hit harder by the Recession than construction, and it is still rebuilding after a major downturn in demand. But that demand is steadily returning. Housing prices rose 10% in 2013, a year that also saw the return of major commercial construction and increased spending on residential remodeling. In a June conference, AIA Chief Economist Kermit Baker spoke on the current Architecture Billings Index, stating that it was “as healthy as it has been in years and, since this index leads construction activity by nine to twelve months, we are expecting a further improvement in construction activity moving forward.”
