In early SIP Orders, Healthcare projects experienced significantly less activity reduction than other sectors, as well as less than other non-infrastructure projects. However, that narrative seems to be shifting as there appears to be a large decline in Heathcare worker hours. Energy, on the other hand, appeared to have a large decline in late April but looks to be not only recovering, but seeing somewhat of an acceleration in work well beyond the March benchmark. Transportation has been consistently down throughout the pandemic, more than most infrastructure sectors, but these declines appear to more closely follow the trajectory of non-infrastructure projects.Source: Procore application daily log, data subject to change as customers update data Download Full Metropolitan Report.
