UNDERSTANDING THE IMPACT OF MARKET CONDITIONS
The Australian economy has continued to record solid growth numbers through 2022 and 2023; while there are some similarities to much of the decade prior to the pandemic, there is scant similarity outside of headline growth numbers. Furthermore, today’s economic climate is increasingly schizophrenic; a sample of economic indicators, which often provide reassuring direction, are now more confusing and counteracting.
To maintain awareness of these ever-changing conditions, we’ve created our Construction Market Conditions Report.
Conducted bi-annually, this report is led by our Construction Economist Damon Roast.
Damon brings over twenty years of experience from consulting and in-house (Tier 1 Contractor) perspectives, and through his deep knowledge of key drivers of escalation (from a strong foundation of economic fundamentals and analysis across all construction sectors), Damon delivers an accurate and rigorous evaluation of market conditions.
With considerable time spent covering local and various global construction markets, Damon enables us to conduct both local and international Market Reports.
To assist our clients with a deeper understanding of the impact of market conditions on their costs, Damon’s expertise is also available for engagements on client specific research, which could include more specific cost forecasts.
We have committed ourselves to providing the most accurate and relevant reporting on market conditions, and will continue to do so for our clients, colleagues, and peers.
