This preview briefing of the May 2025 ACIF Forecasts will examine what the future holds for Australian construction across residential, non-residential and infrastructure construction over the next 10 years. Led by ACIF’s Construction Forecasting Council (CFC) and produced by Kerry Barwise, ACIF’s Chief Forecaster, ACIF Forecasts provide decision makers with a reliable and highly accurate compass for business planning. Since 2002, the Australian Construction Industry Forum (ACIF) has published the ACIF Forecasts to provide the industry with a relevant and credible ‘compass’ for the next ten years on upcoming demand for work across all sectors, including major projects, as well as what is happening with construction costs and labour requirements. ACIF's forecasts are released biannually, representing good value in keeping you up to date on the big picture trends. The forecasts are available in two formats – the Australian Construction Market Report and the Customised Forecasts Dashboard.
