UK construction faces an unusual set of pressures. Input costs remain elevated, but demand across parts of the market has softened, and the interaction between the two has significant implications for tender prices, project viability and investment decisions in the months ahead.
In our latest quarterly construction outlook webinar, we drew on the latest BCIS five-year forecasts to examine what is driving current market conditions and where they are headed. Our panel covered the latest movements in input costs, tender prices and output levels, the wider economic factors shaping the outlook, including inflation and interest rates, and the implications of the ongoing situation in Iran for energy prices and commodities markets.
The session also gave attendees the opportunity to put their most pressing issues directly to our panel, comprised of BCIS chief economist Dr David Crosthwaite and our senior economist Sam Parkin.
