    ABI Ends 2016 with a Third Month of Growth

    Written by Sandy Williams


    The Architecture Billings Index (ABI) ended 2016 at a score of 55.9, up from 50.6 in November and growing for the third consecutive month, according to the latest report by the American Institute of Architects.

    The new projects inquiry index stood at 57.2 in December from 59.5 the previous month. The differing growth pace between the indexes was considered an indication that architecture firms will see more moderate growth for billings in 2017, said AIA.
