Stimulus Not Reaching Small FirmsAssociated Builders and Contractors (ABC) has released its Construction Backlog Indicator (CBI), an economic indicator that projects the amount of construction work that will be performed in the months ahead. According to the CBI, economic stimulus legislation may be fueling large construction firms, but it has left small- to medium-sized construction firms to fend for themselves. Infrastructure work has increased overall, but "smaller firms, which are more commercially oriented, are less likely to be direct beneficiaries of the stimulus package," said ABC's chief economist, Anirban Basu. Small construction firms have been left fiercely competing with each other for the few stimulus projects within their realm. --Brian Luskey, Associate Editor

Small Contractors Get a Break on Surety BondsThanks to the federal Recovery Act, the Small Business Administration has more than doubled its guarantees for surety bonds that small construction contractors must post to qualify for public construction and service contracts. The SBA will now guarantee $5 million, up from $2 million, on the bonds issued by insurance companies to protect construction project owners if contractors fail to perform. The SBA says it will soon be able to guarantee up to $10 million in some cases, as part of the new stimulus spending. You can apply online for a surety bond with the SBA.

National Hardware Show Reorganizes its ToolboxRetail buyers returning to the 2009 National Hardware Show will encounter a strikingly different experience than they did in 2008. Conference organizers have completely redesigned the layout of their show floor this time out. With the needs of buyers and distributors in mind, they have put their home improvement product categories front and center. The goal is to provide retail buyers and distributors with easy access to the nearly 3,000 sellers scheduled to attend the show, with brand introductions and product demonstrations consolidated into a single, cleanly organized area. -- Jason Agard, Sr. Associate Editor

Nonresidential Construction Jobs Comparatively SaferAccording to a recent analysis of job loss data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics paints a troubling picture, not all sectors of the construction industry are created equal. Predictably, cutbacks are rampant and have accelerated over recent months. Overall employment in the industry recently dropped below 1999 levels, and could drop further. But the comparison between residential and nonresidential by Associated Builders and Contractors, Inc. clearly shows a faster decline in residential construction jobs. While the nationwide credit crunch is clearly creating a significant slowdown in commercial construction activity and is anticipated to continue to do so for some time, it appears that homeowners are cutting back even more quickly. -- Jason Agard, Sr. Associate Editor |
