Construction Outlook
(Continued from page 21) value will climb to almost $200 billion, according to the Dodge economist.
According to the special F. W. Dodge report, these developments in the nation's construction activity are anticipated during the next decade (all figures in 1967 dollars):
• Business demand for building is expected to increase at a 3.3 per cent annual rate to $32.2 billion. Substantial gains in utilities and store building will offset more modest growth in industrial and office construction.
• Housing demand is expected to grow at a 5.4 per cent annual rate to $47.0 billion. A sharp upturn in the rate of family formations and increased government spending for programs aimed at eliminating slums and improving environmental conditions in the nation's cities will spark the anticipated boom in residential building.
• Institutional building requirements are expected to increase to $11.8 billion, a modest 0.6 per cent annual growth rate. Enrollment trends, reflecting the drop in the birth rate since the late 1950's, suggest a lessened demand for new educational buildings. Hospital construction should continue to increase in response to changing needs.
• Community facilities construction, responding to larger government domestic expenditures and the increasing demand for better roads and other public facilities, should increase at a 5.3 per cent annual rate to $40.5 billion.
The growth rates projected for the seventies in the "1980 F. W. Dodge Construction Market Outlook" represent realistic trends rather than idealistic goals, taking into consideration limitations in the supply of labor, materials and credit.
