Construction and Infrastructure Consulting

With over 50 years’ proven experience in providing robust, independent and sound advice, we are experts in economic analysis, market research and forecasting for the construction, infrastructure, maintenance and mining industries. We cover all segments of the industry across residential building, non-residential building and engineering construction, the latter covering transport and utilities infrastructure as well as mining and heavy industry. We provide clients with the best possible information to make the best possible decisions.

Cost Escalation Forecasting

Leveraging our global capabilities and local knowledge, we have unrivalled experience in the provision of cost escalation services, providing analysis and forecasts of costs and published price indices for a wide range of clients in the construction, mining, transport and energy sectors – as well as for government agencies – across the world.

Market Capacity & Workforce Analysis

Combining our macroeconomic and industry expertise, we regularly provide analysis and forecasts of demand and supply across construction and infrastructure markets, highlighting potential capacity and capability risks, implications and potential solutions.  This involves quantitative analysis as well as deep engagement with industry and government stakeholders and supply chains.

Demand Forecasting and Regional Analysis

Using our proven methodologies, we can convert our forecasts for construction and other infrastructure activities (e.g. maintenance) into demand for products or services, such as steel, quarry materials, concrete, labour, transport and waste. Our detailed project knowledge allows us to provide detailed sub-sector forecasts of construction and related demands at a city or regional level.
