Construction spending has increased for six consecutive months this year and amounted to $482.7 billion during this time period.

Construction spending during April 2015 was estimated at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $1,006.1 billion for April, 2.2 percent above March’s revised estimate of $984 billion, the U.S. Census Bureau Department of Commerce announced today.

Privately funded construction dropped 0.5 percent from a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $697.6 billion in January from $700.9 billion in December. The monthly total, however, was 0.5 percent above the estimated $694.1 billion of construction put in place in January 2014.
