Alongside these insights, the report continues to deliver trusted updates on project wage rates, union movements, staffing changes, rosters and labour forecasts, plus a dedicated safety focus and economic outlook.
CCIWA Construction Services Manager Kate Schick said the sector was experiencing significant challenges.
“The WA construction sector continues to operate in a tight and increasingly complex environment, with strong project activity sitting alongside heightened industrial, regulatory, union and workforce pressures,” she said.
“Access to timely intelligence and a forward view of project and labour demand is critical for businesses planning their workforce and commercial strategies.”
