Metro Atlanta is seeing new construction pick up–in the commercial sector this time around. New apartment buildings are certainly popping up all over the metro area, but there is also some growth in the non-residential industry that is slow but steady in Atlanta. The Atlanta movers have learned that the Associated Builders and Contractors are predicting spending to rise for that sector by 5.2 percent in 2013.

In Atlanta, October marked a point where the city had reported significant new job additions in the area within the professional and business services industries. Economic  strengthening in the area has been a catalyst for new construction underway, as well as out of town investors looking to take advantage of off-peak Atlanta housing and land prices. Other areas looking to likely expand in 2013 include power, lodging, health care, and manufacturing.
