What are construction firms expecting in the year ahead? The newly released 2026 CBIZ Construction Industry Survey provides insight into the trends, challenges, and opportunities shaping the industry.
Compiled from responses from construction industry leaders across the country, the annual survey examines the current business climate and highlights the issues having the greatest impact on contractors and construction firms. This year’s report explores the resilience of project backlogs, changes in annual compensation, revenue projections, the increasingly competitive bidding environment, financing stability, ongoing labor shortages, and the technology opportunities many firms have yet to embrace.
In addition to the survey findings, the report includes analysis from CBIZ’s construction practice leaders, offering context around the data and practical insights to help firms evaluate their own business strategies.
