The Ai Group Industry Index for Australia’s construction sector improved to positive territory in December/January, with the PCI indicator rising to 5.2 after remaining in contraction in November, marking its first expansion since mid-2023. Constructors again provided mixed feedback: some reported a pickup in project inquiries and early signs of activity improving, while others noted that it remains early in the year and that orders have yet to fully translate into stronger workloads. Firms continued to cite weak investment in smaller projects, elevated costs and regulatory pressures, tighter financing conditions, and persistent challenges attracting skilled staff, despite expectations that activity could strengthen in the months ahead. source: Australian Industry Group
