AIA's Billing Index Continues to Move Upward

Another month and yet another uptick in the American Institute of Architects‘ Architecture Billings Index, this time returning it to a level around where it was at the start of the economic collapse back in August of last year. Though we don’t think anyone is apt to yet say Marvin Malecha, the AIA’s president, was correct in forecasting a quick turnaround in the industry, it’s nice to have two months of positive developments instead of the long, slow drag downward the ABI was experiencing throughout the fall and winter.
