Summer 2026 Frankham Market Update

After several years of exceptional volatility, 2026 has seen the UK construction market enter a period of relative stability. Inflationary pressures have eased from historic highs, supply chains are functioning more effectively, and contractor appetite for work remains generally positive. Despite these encouraging signs, industry-wide growth remains limited.

Housing delivery remains subdued, viability pressures continue to challenge development activity, and regulatory reform is creating both opportunities and additional complexity. The upshot of our Summer 2026 market update is clear; the market is stabilising, but it is not yet recovering.
