Retail construction project bids continued to dominate all industries in the private sector for our Northeast region bidding landscape during the third quarter of 2013. The Northeast region encompasses the states of Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Vermont. CDCNews reported on 8,316 construction projects that had a bid date between July 1st and September 30th. Of those 8,316 projects, 7,009 were bid by the public sector and 1,307 were private sector projects.
Of the 7,009 public projects, 1,938 were classified as General Building, 1,639 were Specialty Trades, 3,256 were Heavy/Highway and 906 were Sewer & Water projects. There is some overlap in the numbers since projects can fall into more than one classification. General Building projects are all general construction projects regardless of size. Specialty Trades are projects with three or less trades involved where subcontractors can bid as a “prime contractor”. Heavy & Highway projects include projects involving road paving, tennis courts, athletic fields, drainage, dredging, demolition, traffic signals, site improvements and bridges. Sewer & Water are projects involving pump stations, water treatment facilities, force mains, septic work, inspection services, drainage, etc.
The public sector saw a healthy mix of projects across all industries. Engineering projects maintained their dominance by making up 49 percent of all public sector bids. This was followed by Governmental at 16 percent, Educational at 12 percent and General/Civil Joint Projects at 11 percent.
Construction bids for the Retail industry made up 44 percent of all private sector projects that bid during July, August and September. This was followed by Office at 14 percent, Medical at 12 percent and Educational at 10 percent. The projects bid cover everything from simple alterations to fit-outs and renovations all the way up to new construction and additions to current structures.
