A Global Study of Construction Supply Chain Relationships
Trust and Collaboration: The State of Construction Supply Chain Relationships
Our latest global study, reveals the true state of supply chain relationships across five key markets, UK, Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong and Peru. The research offers a rare, data‑driven view of trust levels, contracting choices, commercial pressures and the widening gap between industry intention and everyday behaviour.
In our exclusive research report, you’ll uncover:
- Why collaborative contracts remain significantly underused, even though 79% of industry professionals support wider adoption and recognise their benefits.
- The structural barriers preventing consistent collaborative practices, particularly the dominant role clients play in determining contracting frameworks.
- How early‑career professionals experience trust, risk, and dispute exposure differently, depending on regional contracting norms and client behaviour.
- The leading drivers of project instability, including the 42% who identify poor estimating and job costing as a major challenge.
