Architecture Firms Report High Demand for Design Services
Written by Sandy Williams
Demand for design services from architecture firms in the U.S. continued to be robust in May, said the American Institute of Architects. AIA’s Architecture Billings Index rose to 58.5 from 57.9 in April for one of the highest scores in the ABI’s 25-year history. The ABI has expanded every month since January.
The index for new design contracts rose to 63.2, a second consecutive record high. The new projects inquiry index was near a record high at 69.2, said AIA.
