ECC Trends: Lack of stability, shortage of workers, construction companies sound alarm
During the EEC Trends conference, Polish construction firms urged public sector clients to provide earlier investment plans to ensure stability and better resource planning. They warned of a declining interest in construction studies, which could impact future infrastructure projects.
Industry leaders foresee rising costs and material shortages if Ukraine’s reconstruction begins, affecting Poland’s construction sector. Budimex and Strabag executives highlighted risks such as long administrative delays and low contract value adjustments for public projects. They emphasized the need for 5-10 year investment roadmaps to allow firms to invest in equipment and workforce development.
Government officials acknowledged the need for more reliable procurement schedules, with plans to extend forecasting from one to two years in the near future.
