Forecasting the Future: Will Construction Costs Go Down in 2024?

UK Construction Blog

DECEMBER 5, 2023

The UK construction forecast for 2024 predicts a 12% recovery due to strong development pipelines and increased building materials costs. An increase in interest rates leads to a rise in borrowing costs, which in turn increases the total cost of a building project.
