The commercial construction industry continues to evolve, with notable trends shaping both the national landscape and the Upstate New York market. Nationally, the commercial construction sector is experiencing steady growth, driven by an increased demand for sustainable building envelopes and energy-efficient commercial low slope roofs. According to Dodge Data & Analytics, non-residential building starts are projected to increase by 5% in 2024, reflecting a robust recovery from the pandemic-induced slowdown.
In Upstate New York, the commercial construction market is also witnessing significant activity. Public sector projects, including government buildings and infrastructure improvements, are on the rise, while private sector investments in commercial real estate show promising growth. The Building Industry Association of Upstate New York reports a 4% increase in commercial construction permits for the first half of 2024, with a marked interest in advanced roofing systems and eco-friendly building envelopes.
As the industry progresses, key trends such as the adoption of innovative materials and technologies for building envelopes and the rising emphasis on sustainable roofing solutions will continue to shape the future of commercial construction.
