For the Construction Spending Survey, all current month estimates are preliminary estimates and will be superseded in following months by revised estimates.
For information on survey methodology and use of the data, including seasonal adjustment and other information pertinent to this economic indicator, go to the Construction Spending Press Release [PDF, 176KB], or refer to the Construction Spending website, which provides a link to more historical data for these reports.
With the release of the January 2017 Monthly Construction Spending Report on March 1, 2017, the presentation of the release will change. We are removing the text portion of the release from Excel. The layout and format of the tables are not currently changing, though some explanatory notes may move to the text portion of the document. The full text and tables will still be available as a PDF. For more information and a preview of the new format, visit www.census.gov/constructionspending
The Y-axis for the line charts may be truncated to prevent flattening of the lines or to present the complete range of data.
