The American Institute of Architects (AIA) has reported that architecture firm billings rose for the sixth consecutive month in March, although the pace of growth slowed modestly from February.

The American Institute of Architects (AIA) reported an increase in architecture firm billings for February 2018 from its Architecture Billings Index (ABI), with several key segments showing an encouraging outlook for 2018.

The Designers Lighting Forum of New York (DLFNY) recently held its annual solid-state lighting (SSL) tradeshow, LEDucation, in New York City at the New York Midtown Hilton.

The Architecture Billings Index (ABI) concluded the year with a score of 52.9, capping three straight months of growth in design billings.

After a stand-alone month of contracting demand for design services, there was a modest uptick in the Architecture Billings Index (ABI) for October.

The AIA has announced it will lobby against inequities in the House and Senate versions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which eliminates the Historic Tax Credit and excludes architects and other small business service professions from lower tax rates. AIA’s president said if this legislation passes, Congress will be making a “terrible mistake.”

After seven months of steady growth in the demand for design services, the Architecture Billings Index (ABI) paused in September.
