Dodge Momentum Index Gains 0.7% In February

The Dodge Momentum Index gained 0.7% in February, moving to 225.6. This was up from the revised January score of 223.9. Commercial planning rose 3.3%, while institutional planning dropped 4.6%.

Sarah Martin, associate director of forecasting for Dodge Construction Network, stated, “Planning momentum moderated in February, after a few months of stronger growth.”

Feb-25 Jan-25 % Change
Dodge Momentum Index 225.6 223.9 0.7%
Commercial Building 283.4 274.4 3.3%
Institutional Building 154.0 161.4 -4.6%

Martin continued, “Data centers continue to prop up growth in the overall index. Without them, the DMI would have decreased 2% this month. Increased uncertainty around material prices and fiscal policies may begin to weigh on planning decisions, but for the time being, planning activity is largely continuing to move forward.”

From a year over year prospective, Dodge stated that the DMI was 27% higher than February of 2024. Commercial activity was up 43% and institutional planning was up 2%.
