The Rescheck National Construction Index is a composite measure of construction activity across the United States. By synthesizing data from building permits, construction starts, and total project values, this index provides a high-level snapshot of the industry’s health.

Architects, engineers, and contractors rely on this data to forecast market trends and align their energy compliance strategies with current building volumes.

Understanding the Index

• Construction Starts Score: A rating out of 10 indicating the volume of new projects initiated.

• Average Project Value: The mean dollar amount invested in new construction.

• Average Square Footage: The mean size of new residential and commercial footprints.
