But from 1991 to 1993 this category decreased annually bottom to 19.5 billion dollars in 1993. In the mid-1990s industrial building market bounced back and reached $ 24.1 billion in 1995.

The cost of lodging construction more than doubled from $ 13 billion to $ 29 billion, and office buildings jumped from $ 46 billion to $ 65 billion in the same period. Production and utilities industries also experienced significant increases in construction costs. These cycles deeply affect entrepreneurs in this industry category. In good times, enjoy specialty contractor’s healthy profit margins, expanding business, and stable demand for their services. During slow periods, manage multiple contractors to stay afloat only by taking on installation and repairs at very low profit margins. In the early to mid-1990s, for example, lift contractors were underlines elevator retrofits that integrated advanced technology. They also strive to increase their share of the airport and healthcare elevator markets. In the late 2000s the industry was suffering along with the rest of the U.S. economy.

The construction industry was no relief in 2009 when new housing starts fell to a 50-year low of 554,000 - the lowest level since the government began recording data in 1959. Construction industry revenue fell a record 12.4 percent from $ 1.07 trillion in 2008 to $ 939 000 000 000 in 2009. In June 2010, announced the Department of Commerce that construction spending this month was estimated at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 836.0 billion dollars. During the first six months of 2010, construction spending $ 389.6 billion, about 11 percent below the amount spent during the same period in 2009. New housing starts were strengthened in early 2010 because of a federal tax credit that expired at midyear. After the expiry of the tax credit, fell residential new construction. In 2010, the industry approximately 3,000 companies employed 37,000 employees.
