With talent shortages, high materials prices and supply chain bottlenecks, it is important to hear about local economic conditions directly from you, a contractor member, so that ABC can help you, legislators and industry stakeholders understand how the market will impact your workforce and bottom line. 

By completing this survey, you supply key data for ABC's Construction Backlog Indicator, a forward-looking economic metric that reflects the amount of work under contract to be performed by ABC commercial and industrial members in the months ahead, as well as the Construction Confidence Index, which signals contractors’ expectations for sales, profit margins and staffing levels. 

Take three minutes to complete the August 2025 Construction Backlog Indicator survey based on your July 2025 financials. While not anonymous, your individual responses will be held in the strictest confidence.

If this survey should be completed by someone else in your company, please forward this link.
