Webinar – Construction outlook: what’s next for the industry?

Published: 27/02/2026

In our quarterly construction outlook webinars, we examine the current state of the industry, looking at the economic and political backdrop affecting the built environment, as well as looking forward to the next 12 months and beyond.

We report on the latest movement in construction costs and prices and output levels, as well as presenting BCIS’s updated forecasts. These cover our expectations for input costs, tender prices and new work and repair and maintenance output over the next five years.

In this upcoming webinar, we will assess the implications of the Spring Statement delivered on 3 March 2026, including the latest Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) economic and fiscal forecasts, and consider what they mean for construction demand, public investment, financing conditions and cost pressures across the sector.

We will also examine potential supply chain risks arising from recent geopolitical escalation in the Middle East, including the possible impacts on global energy markets, freight routes and materials costs.

The next construction outlook webinar will take place on Thursday 26 March 2026.
