BOOMING conditions in the commercial building sector helped Australia's construction industry expand last month, a survey shows. This was despite an anaemic performance by the residential apartment sector. The Performance of Construction Index rose 7.5 points last month to 53.1. Any reading of more than 50 indicates the building industry is expanding. In August, the Australian Industry Group-Housing Industry Association's PCI fell sharply to 45.6 points, following the interest rate rise that month. The HIA's executive director of housing and economics, Simon Tennent, said the September increase was encouraging but conditions in the apartment market remained poor, with the index at just 30.7 points. He said investors were still skittish after the apartment boom ended in 2004 and a 30 per cent increase in steel and concrete prices since then was hurting the market.
