Any Architecture Billing Index Score above 50 signifies growth - it is a leading economic indicator that provides an
approximately nine to 12 month glimpse into the future of nonresidential construction spending activity.
It is a monthly measure of the first (or initial) report for nonresidential building projects in planning, which have
been shown to lead construction spending for nonresidential buildings by a full year. Since reaching bottom
in July 2011 at a level of 77.1 (2000=100), the index has been trending up.
Rates as of mid month.
