The Association for Consultancy and Engineering (ACE) has announced that, in accordance with the latest Arcadis summer UK Construction Market View report, the construction industry’s recovery from coronavirus (COVID-19) ‘is expected to take longer than initially thought.’ Arcadis stated that both urgent short-term and long-term actions are required for recovery, warning that the ‘risk of disruption’ remains. Additionally, Arcadis notes that the industry is ‘at a turning point’ as prices have been rising since 2014 with profitability barely recovering and further disruptions ahead. Arcadis believes this will cause contractors and their supply chain to take a ‘risk averse approach to business development.’ Nonetheless, Arcadis presents a ‘bullish view for the longer term.’
