If you’re in the construction business boy do we a have a bit of good news for you: With a reported rise in building permits and an end of the winter weather in sight, builder confidence has increased in March.
In fact, according to the Census Bureau building permits were up 7.7 percent in February, although starts dropped slightly due to the harsh, cold weather seen in January and February.
