Three Part Series: Residential Building, Non-Residential Building and Engineering Construction Industry Reports

What’s on the horizon for the construction industry?

FTI Consulting’s Construction Industry Insights series, prepared by our Economic & Financial Consulting team, provides important updates on current and future trends expected in the Australian construction sector over the next two to three years.

The industry specific infographics provide a comprehensive overview of the key pressure points and likely factors that will impact the residential, non-residential and engineering construction sectors.

An ever increasing pipeline of work in residential dwellings means many builders face significant challenges completing and delivering projects. Rising material and labour costs, a spike in the pipeline of building work, and disruptions in global supply chains present considerable challenges and opportunities for the construction sector.

Non-Residential Building Infographic
Non-residential building activity has fallen by nearly 1.3% in 2021-2022, with activity expected to shrink by a further 4% next year.
