ATLANTA, GA -- OxBlue.com, an Atlanta-based technology company, is using its artificial intelligence (AI) tools to measure the effects of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on construction activity across the U.S. The full analysis looked at all 50 states and more than 100 metropolitan areas between March 1 and April 17, 2020.

At the state level, construction activity has seen a great deal of change. The number of states with a minimal impact (5% or less) on ongoing construction activity has decreased from 37 to 33 states. The number of states with a general decline in activity (between 5% and 25%) has increased from 7 to 11, and those with the most severe decline in activity (between 25% and 77%) has remained at 6, with Colorado replacing Ohio on the list.
