Meeting uncertainty with agility - UK construction market outlook

The outlook for UK construction in 2025 presents both challenges and opportunities. If you’re proactive and collaborative you can drive your projects forward with confidence.

Early engagement, flexible procurement and smart financial planning are essential. Make the right decisions now and you can navigate complexity and still deliver strong outcomes.

While short-term growth forecasts have been revised, longer-term signs are encouraging. Updates to planning policy could unlock housing delivery and stimulate wider sector activity. Interest rates are expected to ease later this year, which may boost investor confidence and open the door to more ambitious schemes.

Contractors are being selective and pricing risk with care. To secure the right partners and maintain momentum, you should be clear on expectations and ready to act quickly. The projects that succeed in this environment will be those backed by insight, collaboration and a willingness to adapt.
