Construction inputs in short supply
Increasing demand and constrained supply of construction inputs has raised questions around industry capacity to deliver a strong pipeline of construction work. The slow untangling of Covid-19 restrictions and supply chain bottlenecks point to significant pressure on key inputs being sustained for some time. In this webinar we will discuss the risks and implications of these capacity constraints on our construction forecasts.
Talking points:
- What is driving the increase in construction costs?
- How long will industry be weighed down by capacity constraints?
- What sectors will be most affected?
