Building with certainty in uncertain times
2025 marks a pivotal moment for international construction. As inflationary pressures ease but political and economic uncertainties rise, we must navigate a complex environment shaped by evolving tariffs, shifting investment patterns and accelerating demands for sustainable, adaptable buildings.
The International Construction Costs report 2025 analyzes how cities worldwide are responding. Geneva and London top the list, with regional variations driven by labor availability, specification changes and currency fluctuations. Meanwhile, inflation hotspots such as Australia, Eastern Europe and parts of Africa present new challenges and opportunities.
