Hello everyone,
I recently joined a Midwest-based civil highway construction company and, on the recommendation of my boss, became a member of CFMA to deepen my understanding of the industry.
One of my first assignments is to create a one-page economic outlook for our sector. As someone who's still new to the space, I'm reaching out to this community for insights on where to begin.
Do any of you put together similar outlooks? If so, what leading indicators do you typically monitor? So far, I'm considering SOFR rate projections and trends from the AIA/Deltek Architecture Billings Index (ABI) as starting points, but I'd really appreciate hearing what others find useful or relevant.
Thanks in advance for your guidance!
Alex
