For most of the Southeast region, contractors should see an increasing set of business opportunities in 2012, according to the latest forecast projections from McGraw-Hill Construction, publisher of Engineering News-Record. The company predicts the value of new 2012 construction contracts will improve in three of the four ENR Southeast states, with North Carolina the lone negative.
While the volume of new contracts may pick up in the coming year, however, industry officials across the region are generally predicting more of the same: flat markets overall, with pockets of positive activity.
