July 2011 - Building & Construction

Conditions in the construction sector remain challenging at best. Many sectors have seen a downturn or further deterioration in conditions over the past 6-8 months (coinciding with the end of Building the Education Revolution work). In these areas margins have contracted and, in some circumstances, become very skinny. The pipeline is similarly looking weak. “Uncertainty” is the key influence, with most participants – developers, builders, financiers, home buyers – delaying key decisions until both the global and domestic landscapes become more transparent.
