Construction backlog slips from 2-year high

The construction backlog has decreased from its two-year high due to tariff-related delays and cancellations, according to the Associated Builders and Contractors. These setbacks have impacted contractors' project pipelines, leading to reduced backlogs. The report suggests that these economic factors are temporarily easing the demand for construction projects.

Le carnet de commandes dans la construction a diminué après avoir atteint un sommet de deux ans, en raison des retards et annulations liés aux tarifs douaniers, selon les Associated Builders and Contractors. Ces problèmes ont affecté le flux de projets des entrepreneurs, réduisant les accumulations de travaux. Le rapport indique que ces facteurs économiques freinent temporairement la demande de projets de construction.
