For the Construction Spending Survey, all current month estimates are preliminary estimates and will be superseded in following months by revised estimates.

For information on survey methodology and use of the data, including seasonal adjustment and other information pertinent to this economic indicator, go to the Construction Spending Press Release [PDF, 176KB], or refer to the Construction Spending website, which provides a link to more historical data for these reports.

The Y-axis may be truncated to prevent flattening of the lines or to present the complete range of data. In a future version of the visualization tool, the option to begin the Y-axis at the origin (0) will be available as applicable.
