Government backed infrastructure projects are prized contracts for contractors and subcontractors alike. How the infrastructure and construction forecasts look for each year is always of utmost importance to companies as they explore new opportunities. At South Coast Surety, we prepare our brokers and agents to meet the needs of construction clients providing the most current industry information. In this edition, we provide an overview of Dodge Analytics 2019 construction forecast.
While the overall construction industry is projected to have a modest 3% growth, there have been many state and local bonds passed and issued of the past year. This means while the private sector may be slowing and federal dollars have yet to be allocated through a budget deal, there are still many bid opportunities out there for construction professionals.
Below are highlights of the report’s projections:
Dodge Data and Analytics completed this forecast on October 25, 2018. We have linked to the complete survey for you and your clients to complete a deep dive at your convenience.
In addition to the Dodge report, Steve Swartz, President of South Coast Surety addresses environmental impacts on the construction industry. Steve explains, “2018 brought us extreme weather coast to coast. The significant storm and fire damage we’ve seen here in California and the severe weather in central states to the east coast has taken its toll.” He continues, “ The damage caused by these events requires significant rebuild and a greater need for contract surety”. He also points to the continued aging infrastructure nationwide as an area for growth in construction.

I was shopping for a surety bond for the first time and having trouble communicating with several different companies. When I contacted South Coast Surety they responded quickly and performed the transaction quick and easy. I might have been able to find a lower price, but their professionalism was worth a couple extra dollars.

I reached out to South Coast Surety, they sent me an application, paid our premium and had our bond sent to us immediately. Everyone I spoke to and emailed was courteous, attentive and responded very quickly. We will most definitely continue to get all of our bond services from South Coast.
