Cost Pressures Continue to Mount
However, the PMI report also highlights a significant rise in cost pressures across the construction industry. Supply chain disruptions, rising material prices, and higher energy costs are contributing to inflationary pressures that threaten the sector’s profitability. Many construction firms are facing challenges in managing their margins while still meeting the growing demand for new builds and infrastructure projects.
Balancing Growth and Inflation
While the rebound in construction activity is encouraging, analysts warn that persistent cost pressures could dampen growth prospects in the coming months. Contractors and developers may need to explore new strategies to manage these rising costs without compromising the momentum of the recovery.
