This quarter we take a long-term economic view. We’re asking: Can the UK break out of its low growth malaise? Is inflation persistent? Where will interest rates settle and what does it all mean for construction costs? We consider the equities markets’ response to tariffs and discuss what higher bond yields mean for property investment. Quarter on quarter analysis can update our view incrementally but often you need to zoom out for the big trends to emerge. This forward-looking report considers a time horizon that reflects the longer-term nature of a project.

Our Cost Consultant teams, covering the commercial, residential, hospitality, stadium, and cultural sectors, as well as our dedicated Engineering Services and Employer’s Agent teams, share insights into the latest tender returns and broader market trends.
