    For the 15th consecutive month architecture firms reported increasing demand for design services in April, according to a new report from The American Institute of Architects.

    AIA’s Architecture Billings Index score for April was 56.5 compared to 58 in March. Any score above 50 indicates an increase in billings. During April, scores for both new project inquiries and design contracts moderated slightly, but remained strong, posting scores of 62.3 and 55.4, respectively.

    “While business conditions at architecture firms have been very encouraging over the past year, project activity has been steadily shifting toward work on existing buildings,” said AIA Chief Economist Kermit Baker, Hon. AIA, Ph.D. “Billings for reconstruction projects exceeded those for new construction for the first time in the last two decades. While the reconstruction share of building activity will continue to ebb and flow, in general, we’ll continue to move toward an increased share of building activity for reconstruction and a decreased share for new construction.”

    Key ABI highlights for April include:

    • Regional averages: West (58.2); Midwest (57.6); South (57.3); Northeast (53.1)
    • Sector index breakdown: mixed practice (61.2); commercial/industrial (60.7); multi-family residential (57.2); institutional (51.8)

    The regional and sector categories are calculated as a three-month moving average, whereas the national index, design contracts and inquiries are monthly numbers.
