The construction of the United States increased by 2024, 6% of more than 2023, with the highest increases in the residential and non -builders sectors, both up to 7%, with the non -residential beginnings of 4% year -on -year, according to Dodge Construction Network.
The beginnings of West Coast’s construction showed a particular force. Through the new region of Enr West, formed by Alaska, California, Hawaii, Nevada, Oregon and Washington, the top 10 largest projects to begin construction in 2024 represented $ 23.76 billion combined in work, which were compared to about $ 14 billion for the top 10 larger projects in the same geographical area in 2023. More compared to only four.

Two major airport projects landed on the list of main beginnings in 2024, including the modernization project of Terminal 3 at San Francisco International Airport, a $ 2.6 million design effort, which will transform the western half of 650,000 square meters from Terminal 3. [see p. W30].
Among several major health care projects, the crews took place in April 2024 at the Helen Diller Hospital of 880,000 square meters from the UCSF Health, which is part of a 30 -year plan to transform the Parnassus Heights campus in the healthcare system.
In Sacramento, there is a 14 -story hospital tower and a five -storey pavilion: the UC Davis $ 3.75 million California tower will add about 1 million square meters to the eastern part of the existing medical center. By virtue of a progressive design creation contract, the project is planned for completion by 2030.
“We are taking advantage of this new tower some of the lessons we learned from the recent pandemic,” said David Lubarsky, CEO Davis Health, at the innovation of July 2024. “Three out of four of the rooms in this new tower can easily become UCI fully functional if necessary, tripling our ICU capacity.”
The California tower is also replacing the portions of the hospital campus that must close as a result of the evolution of the regulations of compliance with seismic safety. Hospitals across the state are competing to reach a period of 2030, at which time all hospital buildings must be able to remain completely operational after a significant earthquake. But first, hospitals must be able to endure all main earthquakes in mid-2016 or will be forced to close.
Valued at $ 5 billion, One Beverly Hills has a 10 -story hotel, two 28 -storey residential towers, a conference center and a retail pavilion.

In San Diego, the Rady Hospital’s Intensive Care Pavilion at Rady Hospital of $ 1.3 million will open by 2028. The seven -story installation of 500,000 square meters is the largest construction project of its 70 years of history.
The first 10 beginnings of 2024 are the infrastructure and energy projects. In Gresham, Ore., $ 2.1 billion, $ 135 million of dollars per day of day -to -day leak, will guarantee compliance with the federal regulations of the drinking water law. Further north, the project Mr 520 Portage Bay Bridge and Roanoke Lid in Seattle will replace the bridge of Portage Bay of the sixties with a seismically resistant structure. Returning to Mojave, California, solar storage installation and dollars of $ 1 billion, 384-MW Eland 1, began and completed construction in 2024, and owner Alevon is already working in Eland 2.
Could the impulse established by 2025 continue in 2024? Although construction projects continue to move forward, political and market instabilities are maintained.
“We foresee an increase in costs to acquire raw materials that are imported from Europe, China, Mexico and Canada,” says Damian Boussing, Hensel Phelps’s regional vice president. “We also foresee that there will be opportunistic adjustments to the market for materials acquired nationally, as the demand throughout the supply chain travels to mitigate the increase in prices from the sources affected by rates.”
Office projects were again absent from the main beginnings of 2024, consisting of 2021: “We have seen some public owners who were warming or put projects waiting for them to receive federal funding; this is the result of cost reduction policies,” he says. “The prospects for the new work are still positive, although there are some precautionary heads associated with government policy.”
