Hays Construction Industry Report Australia FY24/25

Key findings from the Hays Construction Industry Report Australia FY24/25

Despite there being a perfect storm of opportunities including housing shortages, population growth, civic expansion and targeting of net zero, some businesses are struggling to capitalise on them.

Elevated material costs, continued supply chain disruption and the green revolution are all challenges the industry needs to solve in the years ahead – and that’s not even mentioning the chronic skills shortages.

Skills in the construction industry are already inadequate for what is needed now, and this deficit is only going to grow as the move towards green construction builds. Shortages will only continue to expand as the profile of the skillsets the industry needs continues to change and evolve.

Covering commercial, infrastructure and residential construction, this report addresses the biggest challenges and opportunities facing Australia’s construction industry.
