November Light on Megaprojects
ConstructConnect announced today that November 2021’s volume of construction starts, excluding residential work, was $30.4 billion (see shaded green box, bottom of Table 8 below), an increase of +1.7% compared with October 2021’s level of $29.9 billion (originally reported as $28.8 billion).
Compared with November 2020, the latest month’s nonresidential starts were -8.0%. On a year-to-date basis, they were -1.6%. GRAND TOTAL starts in November 2021 (i.e., including residential activity) were +2.4% m/m, -3.5% y/y, and +5.6% ytd.

November this year managed to avoid the usual modest decline in total starts due to seasonality, i.e., the arrival of colder weather heading into winter. Another feature of the latest month was that it was light in mega-sized projects. The only billion-dollar-plus project to break ground in November 2021 was Methanex Corp’s Geismar 3 methanol plant in Louisiana, south of Baton Rouge. Methanol is a member of the alcohol family, is a liquid, and has multiple important industrial uses. It’s not to be confused with methane which, as an emission of natural gas or animal waste, is largely viewed as an environmental villain.
Starts in November of last year included two megaprojects adding to $4.0 billion, an office building in New York, at One Madison Avenue, and I-635 roadway work in Dallas, Texas.
Some Convergence, Residential Versus Nonresidential
The large discrepancies in ConstructConnect’s starts statistics between the three major types of structure that were evident earlier this year—with residential super strong, nonresidential buildings quite weak, and engineering/civil on an even keel—are gradually diminishing.
Year to date, residential starts (+15.5%) are still up to a decent degree but not by as much as previously, nonresidential building starts (-3.9%) remain down but not as severely, and engineering starts (+2.1%) are doing a little better than flat.
On a month-to-month basis in November, residential starts were +3.1%, nonresidential building starts, +0.5%,and engineering, +3.7%.
Improving Trend in Trailing 12-Month Starts
Other statistics often beloved by analysts are trailing twelve-month (TTM) results and these are set out for all the various type-of-structure categories in Table 8 below. Grand Total TTM starts in November on a month-to-month basis were -0.3%, compared with -0.7% in October and +1.2% in September. On a year-over-year basis in November, Grand Total TTM starts were +3.3% versus +2.8% in October and +2.0% in September. The improving trend seen in those last three percentage changes speaks of a construction marketplace that is on the mend.
Census Bureau’s PIP Numbers Boosted by Residential
‘Starts’ compile the total estimated dollar value and square footage of all projects on which ground is broken in any given month. They lead, by nine months to as much as two years, put-in-place (PIP) statistics which are analogous to work-in-progress payments as the building of structures proceeds to completion.
PIP numbers cover the ‘universe’ of construction, new plus all manner of renovation activity, with residential traditionally making up two-fifths (about 40%) of the total and nonresidential, three-fifths (i.e., the bigger portion, at around 60%). Presently, though, according to the Census Bureau’s October 2021 not-seasonally-adjusted (NSA) PIP numbers for the total United States, the year-to-date mix has shifted dramatically. The residential to nonresidential relationship has become approximately half and half (i.e., 49.3%-to-50.7% respectively). The Census Bureau’s October 2021 NSA ytd PIP results are +7.5% for total; +23.8%, residential; and -4.7%, nonresidential (i.e., nonresidential buildings plus engineering).
PIP numbers, being more spread out, have smaller peak-over-trough percent-change amplitudes than the ‘starts’ series. As an additional valuable service for clients and powered by its extensive ‘starts’ database, ConstructConnect, in partnership with Oxford Economics, a world-leader in econometric modeling, has developed put-in-place construction statistics by types of structure for U.S. states, cities and counties, ‘actuals’ and forecasts. ConstructConnect’s PIP numbers are being released quarterly and are featured in a separate reporting system.
Construction Jobs +133,000 Year to Date
The construction sector has been on a hiring roll over the last three months. From the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the total number of onsite jobs advanced by +35,000 in September, +43,000 in October, and +31,000 in November. Those three months have accounted for +109,000 of the +133,000 jobs increase year to date. A similar number of new jobs (+100,000) will need to be generated, however, before total employment in the sector will return to its February 2020 pre-pandemic level.
The not seasonally adjusted (NSA) unemployment rate in construction in the latest month was 4.7%, up from 4.0% in October, but well below the 7.3% rate for November of 2020. On a year-over-year basis, construction employment is now +2.4%, which isn’t far off manufacturing’s +2.9% but is only half of the gain achieved by the private services-providing sector, +4.8%. The ‘all jobs’ increase is +4.1% y/y. ‘Leisure and hospitality’ employment is +14.3% y/y
Other corners of the economy with close ties to construction have seen the following year over year changes in employment: machinery and equipment rental and leasing, +7.7%; architectural and engineering services, +4.9%; real estate firms, +4.2%; oil and gas extraction, +0.3%; cement and concrete product manufacturing, -1.3%; and building material and supplies dealers, -2.9%. The solid increase of +4.9% y/y for employment with project design firms augurs well for eventual sitework employment resulting from the lead-lag relationship.

Pluses and Minuses Among the Type of Structure Subcategories
November’s +1.7% month-to-month (m/m) increase in total nonresidential starts resulted from gains in industrial (+11.6%), engineering (+3.7%) and institutional (+2.0%) that were less than fully blunted by commercial (-2.3%).
The -8.0% performance of total nonresidential starts in November of this year versus November of last year (y/y) was due to drop downs in institutional (-26.8%) and commercial (-23.7%) that weren’t entirely counterbalanced by pickups in industrial (+186.3%) and engineering (+6.5%).
Year to date (ytd) total nonresidential starts in the eleventh month of 2021 were -1.6% despite industrial being +43.3% and engineering stepping forward by +2.1%. Exerting drag have been institutional, -10.6%, and commercial, -6.7%.
There are two dominant subcategories of total nonresidential starts. When the year-to-date volumes of ‘roads/highways’ and ‘schools/colleges’ are added together, they account for nearly one-third of total nonresidential activity (i.e., shares of 14.8% and 17.2% respectively summing to 32.0%).
The three percentage-change metrics for street starts in November were +1.8% m/m, -3.9% y/y, and +6.5% ytd. The corresponding key measures for school starts were +1.5% m/m, -21.5% y/y, and -14.0% ytd. As a point of interest, Table 2 shows starts for the K-12 portion of educational to be -12.9% year to date, somewhat less negative than the college/university component, -18.0%.
New school starts may be malingering; anecdotally, though, plenty of renovation work is proceeding to address issues raised by the coronavirus and to provide students with a ‘greener’ and, therefore, healthier learning environment.
The next largest contributor (with an 8.5% share) to total nonresidential starts so far this year has been the ‘water/sewage’ subcategory. Its results have been -2.3% m/m, but +37.3% y/y and +10.2% ytd.
A consolidated health care subcategory of ‘hospitals/clinics,’ ‘nursing/assisted living,’ and ‘miscellaneous medical’ recorded starts in November that were: +1.9% m/m, -37.0% y/y, and -1.5% ytd. ‘Hospital/clinic’ starts on their own were +47.1% m/m (thanks to a big new VA medical center in Louisville, Kentucky – see Top 10 Project Starts in the U.S. – November 2021) and +21.2% ytd, although -13.8% y/y. ‘Nursing/assisted living’ starts were quite downbeat: -78.2% m/m, -80.4% y/y, and -23.8% ytd.
The major commercial subcategories, already distressed by the pandemic, stayed weak on a year-to-date basis in the latest month, with ‘hotels/motels’ at -37.2% and ‘private office buildings,’ -30.4%. The latter, though, was +239.3% m/m, due to a Wall Street office tower redevelopment in New York (again, see Top 10 Project Starts in the U.S. – November 2021).
Interestingly, November’s government office building starts were +12.7% ytd. And miscellaneous’ commercial starts were +54.3% year to date, driven primarily by ‘transportation terminals’ at +134.9%.
Finally, under engineering’s banner, ‘power infrastructure’ starts in November were +89.2% ytd, although they were -87.7% m/m and -90.3% y/y. This is a category of starts where the monthly percentage-change results can be inordinately impacted by the timing of outsized project groundbreakings.

Hopes for a ‘Boomerang’ Effect From JOLTS
The labor shortage story in construction is a familiar one, an abundance of ‘openings’ that are not being rectified by hires. As seen in Graph 5, openings, both as a level and rate, are now matching their peaks achieved in mid-2019. From Graph 6, though, there’s been no recent breakout in hiring. Even substantial increases in earnings aren’t drawing potential workers to jobsites.
Employers are said to be hoping for a ‘boomerang’ effect. This is a mildly humorous, although strained, attempt at a play on words. Many older workers from the ‘boomer’ generation retired during the pandemic. (‘Baby boomers’ were born between the mid-1940s and mid-1960s.) The thought is that a good number of them will find too much leisure time boring and that there is an opportunity to lure many of them back to rewarding positions.

Most Starts Trend Graphs Moving Sideways
Almost all the 12-month moving average trend graphs (Nonresidential Construction Starts Trend Graphs – November 2021) are moving sideways. There are four notable exceptions. The ‘private office buildings’ category has taken another steep dip lately, as a large project from last year has dropped out of the moving average calculation. Also, the ‘schools/colleges’ designation is continuing on a downward slope.
But there are also a couple of curves moving in the other direction. The ‘bridges’ graph line, over the past several months, has been ticking back upwards, after retreating from a noteworthy peak. And ‘water/sewage’ work remains on a slight incline.
Significant Wage Hikes Underway
Tables B-3 and B-8 of the monthly Employment Situation report from the BLS, record average hourly and average weekly wages for industry sectors. B-3 is for all employees (i.e., including bosses) on nonfarm payrolls. B-8 is for ‘production and nonsupervisory personnel’ only (i.e., it excludes bosses). For ‘all jobs’ and construction, there are eight relevant percentage changes to consider.
From Table B-3 (including bosses), ‘all jobs’ earnings y/y in November were +4.8% both hourly and weekly. Construction workers, as a subset of ‘all jobs,’ managed the exact same increases, +4.8% both hourly and weekly. From Table B-8 (leaving out bosses), the y/y ‘all jobs’ compensation gains were +5.9% hourly and +5.6% weekly. Construction workers straggled a little hourly, +5.3%, but danced ahead weekly, +6.4%.

Material Cost Pressures Unabated
November’s y/y results for three building-related BLS Producer Price Index (PPI) series were as follows: (A) ‘construction materials special index,’ +34.7% (an increase from October’s +30.8%); (B) ‘inputs to new construction index, excluding capital investment, labor, and imports,’ +20.5% (a step up from the previous month’s +18.3%); and (C) ‘final demand construction,’ designed to capture bid prices, +12.3% (slightly above October’s +12.1%).
By the way, according to an authoritative BLS spokesperson, (A) comes from a data series with a long history but it’s confined to a limited number of major construction materials. (B) has a shorter history, but it’s more comprehensive in its coverage, although it includes some items (e.g., transportation) that aren’t strictly materials.
Concerning the cost of some major construction material inputs, as revealed in the PPI data set published by the BLS, asphalt in November was +82.9% year over year; hot rolled steel bars, plates, and structural shapes, +60.7%; aluminum sheet and strip, +45.8%; copper wire and cable, +24.5%; gypsum products, +20.9%; ready-mix concrete, +7.1%; cement, +4.8%; and softwood lumber, +3.5%.
The value of construction starts each month is derived from ConstructConnect’s database of all active construction projects in the U.S. Missing project values are estimated with the help of RSMeans’ building cost models. ConstructConnect’s nonresidential construction starts series, because it is comprised of total-value estimates for individual projects, some of which are super-large, has a history of being more volatile than many other leading indicators for the economy.
November 2021’s ‘Grand Total’ Starts +5.8% YTD
From Table 8 below, ConstructConnect’s total residential starts in November were +3.1% m/m, +2.2% y/y, and +15.5% ytd. Multi-family starts in November were +22.9% m/m, +7.1% y/y, and +8.4% ytd. Single-family starts were -3.3% m/m, +0.3% y/y, and +18.3% ytd. Year to date, single-family starts have been livelier than multi-family (apartments and condos) starts, but the margin of superiority has been shrinking.
Including home building with all nonresidential categories, Grand Total starts in November 2021 were +2.4% m/m, -3.5% y/y, and +5.6% ytd.
ConstructConnect adopts a research-assigned ‘start’ date. In concept, a ‘start’ is equivalent to ground being broken for a project to proceed. If work is abandoned or re-bid, the ‘start’ date is revised to reflect the new information.
Expansion Index Monitors Construction Prospects
The economy may be in recovery mode, but nonresidential work is usually a lagging player. Companies are hesitant to undertake capital spending until their personnel needs are rapidly expanding and their office square footage or plant footprints are straining capacity. Also, it helps if profits are abundant. (Today’s greater tendency to work from home has made office occupancy much more difficult to assess.)
Each month, ConstructConnect publishes information on upcoming construction projects at its Expansion Index.
The Expansion Index, for hundreds of cities in the United States and Canada, calculates the ratio, based on dollar volume, of projects in the planning stage, at present, divided by the comparable figure a year ago. The ratio moves above 1.0 when there is currently a larger dollar volume of construction ‘prospects’ than there was last year at the same time. The ratio sinks below 1.0 when the opposite is the case. The results are set out in interactive maps for both countries.

Table 2 conforms to the type-of-structure ordering adopted by many firms and organizations in the industry. Specifically, it breaks nonresidential building into ICI work (i.e., industrial, commercial, and institutional), since each has its own set of economic and demographic drivers. Table 3 presents an alternative, perhaps more user-friendly and intuitive type-of-structure ordering that matches how the data appears in ConstructConnect Insight.
