Good News for 2012

Billings Index Rises Above 50

The Architecture Billings Index climbed to 52.0 in November, marking the first time it has cleared 50 since August (a score above 50 denotes an increase in billings and below 50, a decrease). The inquiries score hit 65.0, up considerably from 57.3 in October. This could portend increased sales opportunities for 2012, since architectural work precedes construction.
