As 2026 approaches, the construction sector remains under pressure. Economic uncertainty, complex rules and limited capacity are slowing progress.

Even so, the outlook is not without promise. There is strong demand for housing, infrastructure and data-driven development.

Organisations with clear plans can still succeed, and acting now offers advantages. Materials are well priced. Contractors have capacity. And future demand is strong.

To make the most of this, firms need focus. That means tight cost control, smart procurement and sensible risk management.

With the right support, it is possible to build with confidence.
