About this data

US construction spending data for total, private, and public projects. The monthly table provides figures expressed at a seasonally adjusted annual rate, covering residential and non-residential categories since 1993 from FRED. The annualized rate projects the total for an entire year at that month's pace rather than single-month expenditures.

Frequently asked questions

What does US construction spending measure?
US construction spending measures the estimated total dollar value of construction work done in the United States each month. It covers private residential and non-residential projects as well as public infrastructure investments.
How often is the US construction spending table updated?
The table is published monthly by the Census Bureau and retrieved via FRED, with data series extending back to 1993. Each release includes revisions to prior months.
What breakdowns are included in the data?
The data is broken down into total, private, and public construction. Private and public sectors are further split into residential and numerous non-residential categories such as manufacturing, educational, highway, and power.
How should the seasonally adjusted annual rate be read?
The seasonally adjusted annual rate (SAAR) represents the projected total construction output for an entire year if the pace of that specific month were maintained for twelve months.
