Outlook for 1928 Building Activity From Wallin Reiter
States are epitomized by W. Straus and Co as they present an outlook for 1928 with demand and supply balanced, employment in building trades near 12 percent below last year, building material prices rising 7 to 10 percent and labor costs increasing slightly less than prior periods. The report notes earlier 1828 construction volume and a downward trend in building permits by April, with the permit index proving the most reliable barometer of construction tendencies despite expansion in actual building.

Leading cities foresee stable rents amid rising building efficiency
The article notes war era gains in construction efficiency boosting output and lowering costs, with contractors cutting overhead and labor becoming more productive. While rents may not drop, temporary oversupply is unlikely, and balance will restore normal rent levels. Experts like S. W. Straus & Co. expect building activity to remain strong in 1927 with stable living standards and continued population migration.
