On the institutional side, education and recreational planning slowed down, while healthcare and public planning continued to grow. Year-over-year, the DMI was up 60% when compared to September 2024. The commercial segment was up 53% (+44% when data centers are removed) and the institutional segment was up 75% over the same period.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">A total of 58 projects valued at $100 million or more entered planning throughout September.

The largest institutional projects to enter planning were the $246 million Philip Anthony Senior High School (No. 2) in Princeton, Texas, the $227 million HCA Medical City Healthcare Hospital in Prosper, Texas, and the $158 million East Stamford Elementary School and Middle School in Stamford, Connecticut.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The DMI is a monthly measure based on the three-month moving value of nonresidential building projects going into planning, shown to lead construction spending for nonresidential buildings by a full year to 18 months.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-26846\" src=\"https:\/\/www.construction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/A-graph-and-chart-of-a-graph-AI-generated-content-may-be-incorrect-290x300.jpeg\" alt=\"A Graph And Chart Of A Graph AI Generated Content May Be Incorrect\" width=\"655\" height=\"677\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.construction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/A-graph-and-chart-of-a-graph-AI-generated-content-may-be-incorrect-290x300.jpeg 290w, https:\/\/www.construction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/A-graph-and-chart-of-a-graph-AI-generated-content-may-be-incorrect.jpeg 633w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 655px) 100vw, 655px\"\/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<p>###<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Dodge Construction Network<\/strong><br \/><span data-teams=\"true\"><span class=\"ui-provider a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z ab ac ae af ag ah ai aj ak\" dir=\"ltr\">Dodge Construction Network harnesses data, analytics, and industry connections to be the leading source of insights and opportunities in the commercial construction industry.
