KEY HIGHLIGHTS
- Financial stability of the supply chain is still in flux after ISG entered administration
- The post-pandemic volatility, as well as the freshness of the collapse of ISG is driving a more risk adverse contractor market
- There is a bigger drive to Stage 2 procurement
- Labour and goods have become comparatively less volatile – with some exceptions – but geopolitical and tariff uncertainty means that there is risk in the short-medium term
- Increased standards, and rising rents are driving overall occupier costs – which may likely have an impact on occupier decision making
