Adapting to Tariffs and Turbulence: Your Strategic Edge Starts Here

It’s hard to ignore the current global trade tensions and how tariff increases are reshaping the economic landscape. Their effects are rippling through the UK’s construction and housebuilding sectors.

Construction firms, particularly those reliant on imported materials, are experiencing unprecedented—and potentially unnecessary—volatility. Supply chain disruptions are leading to unexpected costs, delayed deliveries, and increased pressure on project timelines and profit margins.

This disruption is not isolated. Approximately 30% of the materials used in UK construction projects are imported, meaning thousands of projects across the country face escalating risks due to volatile international markets.

The government has already injected funding / changes into the UK planning system, and our Land, Development and Communities Group is proactively working with clients to advance a range of major developments through the planning process.
