Cost trends rarely move in a straight line. Understanding the factors behind those shifts, from material volatility to labor pressures and regional market dynamics, is critical for effective planning. This report provides valuable context to help teams move beyond the headlines and make more informed decisions in an evolving construction market.

Construction costs continue to shift, and uncertainty remains a major challenge across the industry.

As Adam Raimond, Program Manager, notes, one area we're watching closely is lumber and installation costs. After seasonal increases in recent years, the question remains: will that trend continue this summer?

The Q2 2026 Construction Cost Insights Report, produced in partnership with Building Design+Construction Media, combines RSMeans Data from Gordian, industry expertise and market perspectives to examine the forces shaping construction costs, from rising pressure in metals and electrical materials to the far-reaching effects of the data center boom on labor, procurement and specialized material availability. The report also explores why cost trends are expected to remain uneven across regions, project types and material categories through the remainder of the year.
