Construction Costs Rose 7.4% Annually In July

Construction input prices ticked up 0.1% month over month in July and were about 7.4% higher than July 2025, according to an analysis of the latest U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data by Associated Builders and Contractors released recently.

Lower energy costs, particularly in crude petroleum and unprocessed energy materials, helped keep the monthly increase muted, said Anirban Basu, ABC chief economist.

How AI Is Reshaping The Future Of The AEC Industry

AI is unlikely to be an extinction event for AEC firms, but it could meaningfully change who leads the industry. Early adopters are reporting productivity gains from design, modeling, and construction-feasibility workflows, though these advantages will likely soon be table stakes. The McKinsey Global Institute (MGI) projects that the AEC industry could unlock roughly $228 billion by 2030 in annual value in the United States through AI and other automation technologies, while in Europe, the impact on the construction sector alone could equate to roughly $126 billion.

Culture of Accountability: A Practical System for Safer, Stronger Crews

Culture of Accountability: A Practical System for Safer, Stronger Crews

Construction leaders are under pressure from every angle: tight schedules, rising insurance costs, increasing OSHA scrutiny, and more. Many have solid safety programs on paper, but still wrestle with cultural issues, and crews treat safety like a box to check. In high-risk work like construction, culture isn’t a soft issue. It shows up in claims, lost time, turnover, and profit. The “people problems” become the business problems. So how do we build a culture that improves results without adding more pressure or bureaucracy? In this interactive webinar, Steve Tusa shares what actually works, and attendees will leave with a roadmap they can apply immediately on their jobsites. If you’re tired of plateaued results, reactive safety conversations, or rising insurance pressure that never seems to ease up, this webinar will give you a clear, practical path forward that’s been proven in the field.
