| Sector | Status |
| Industrial (warehouses, logistics, data centers) | Booming — Driven by e-commerce, AI infrastructure, and reshoring of manufacturing. |
| Healthcare & Life Sciences | Strong growth — Aging population and post-COVID expansions are pushing hospital and medical facility builds. |
| Education | Steady — Renovation and expansion of schools/universities funded by local/state initiatives. |
| Public Infrastructure | Expanding — Federal funds from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) are now actively being deployed. |
