Building Up'till '80

Construction will continue its strong recovery during the next two years, reach in 1980 the peak physical volume it achieved during 1973, then return to a pattern of slow growth in the early years of the next decade, predicts "The Next Five Years." a new fiveyear F. W. Dodge forecast.

ln 1982, the end of the five-year period, new construction will be nearly 50% greater in contract value than during 1977 but, because of steady inflation, only about 15% bigger in physical volume, the forecast says.

New contract value in 1982 is expected to reach $187 billion, almost $60 billion more than this year's anticipated level of $ 128 billion. Making up the predicted total will be $72 billion for residential construction, up about 3Wo, $51 billion for nonresidential construction, up about 7 Vo, and $58 billion for nonbuilding construction, up about 55%.

"The economy's recovery is less vulnerable to setback than it was a year ago," according to George A. Christie, v.p. and chief economist for the F. W. Dodge Div. of McGraw-Hill Information Systems Co. "Government programs are putting funds into housing and public works that had been held back in the middle 1970 s. Financial institutions have sufficient liquidity to support higher levels of construction."

He cautioned, however, that a return to out-of-control inflation could trigger repressive monetary and fiscal policies that would slow down construction before 1980.
