About Starts

A construction start date usually occurs within a month or two of the bid date. In concept, a start is equivalent to ground being broken for a project to proceed. 

Forecast is powered by ConstructConnect construction cost data with forecast models provided by Oxford Economics, one of the world's foremost independent providers of global economic research and consulting. For more information, see Understanding construction starts.
