1994 construction outlook: Dodge/Sweet's finds bright spots for 1994.

Constrained by the excesses of the previous decade and tepid performance in the general economy, the rebound by construction from its 1990-91 downturn could best be described as subdued and selective. Single-family housing led the way before faltering this year, and only scattered help has come from the industry's other sectors. The big question facing construction at the end of 1993 is whether the current recovery is in danger of stalling or, put differently, does it have the stamina to become more broad-based?
