Outlays for U.S. construction projects rose 0.8% in October, the Commerce Department reported Thursday.
The increase put spending on building at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $798.5 billion.
This is still below the $799.6 billion level reached in June.
The gain in construction spending in October was above analysts' expectations of a 0.3% gain.
Year-over-year, construction spending is down 0.4%.
The data fit with recent trends where gains in private sector demand was partly offset by declines in public sector activity.
In October, spending on private construction rose 2.3%, with residential construction up 3.4%. Spending on public projects fell 1.8%.
