2025 Outlook information
The 2025 Construction Hiring and Business Outlook
 Construction contractors have a decidedly mixed outlook for 2025 as firms predict transitions in demand for projects, the types of challenges they will face and the technologies, including artificial intelligence, they will embrace according to survey results the Associated General Contractors of America and Sage released today. Amid these changes, contractors are struggling to cope with significant labor shortages, the impacts of higher interest rates and input costs, and a supply chain that, while better, is still far from normal, according to A Construction Market in Transition: The 2025 Construction Hiring and Business Outlook.

We are experiencing unprecedented swings – some projects are reaching sizes and complexities we haven’t historically seen, while others are being paused or shelved with little warning. The resulting “hurry up and wait” dynamic creates real challenges in planning, staffing, and resource allocation.
