RALEIGH, N.C., Feb. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- FMI Corporation, a leading provider of consulting and investment banking services to the built environment, released the 2024 North American Engineering and Construction Industry Overview today. The report provides a comprehensive forecast for a broad range of construction and engineering segments in the U.S. and Canada for 2024.

Looking ahead, FMI expects engineering and construction spending forecast to end 2024 up 2% from 2023. Companies across the built environment will need to have clear strategies, best-in-class operations and inspired leaders to capitalize on industry conditions and create resilient firms.

"The built environment expe­rienced its share of challenging con­ditions in the past three years, making resiliency more important than ever," writes FMI CEO Chris Daum in the introduction.
