Market forecast Q3 2025
Cautiously optimistic

For the first time since the Autumn Budget, a sense of cautious optimism is emerging within the UK construction sector. 

While project viability remains under pressure, there are early signs of a tentative recovery in housebuilding, with other sub-sectors potentially following suit.

However, the outlook remains risky, with high geopolitical tensions and economic uncertainty threatening to derail recovery and leave the sector vulnerable to sudden shifts.

Our Q3 2025 market forecast which covers the UK notes that:

  • Tender Price Index is forecast to increase by 3.0 per cent in 2025, down from the 3.4 per cent reported in the previous quarter
  • Our Building Cost Index (BCI) increased by 3.5 per cent on the year in Q2 2025
  • Headline consumer price inflation (CPI) accelerated to 3.4 per cent in May

Stay updated about the latest trends and challenges in the construction industry.
