In periods of heightened uncertainty, construction professionals have to make decisions based on data that may not yet reflect current market conditions. While recent geopolitical developments have brought renewed focus to cost and supply pressures, volatility has become a more persistent feature of the market in recent years.
This webinar explores how benchmarking can be applied in practice when cost and pricing movement is less predictable and traditional reference points are under pressure. Drawing on the latest BCIS data and insight, our panel will examine current input cost and tendering trends, how these compare with previous periods of disruption, and what this means for the reliability and interpretation of benchmark data.
The session will focus on practical approaches to benchmarking across the project life cycle, including investment, procurement and tendering decisions, as well as early-stage cost planning and client advice. It will consider how to work with recent and historic data, how to account for increased variability, and how to communicate uncertainty clearly and effectively, supporting more informed decision-making and helping to manage risk in an environment where conditions can shift quickly and unpredictably.
This webinar will take place on Thursday 30 April 2026.
