A detailed annual study on the outlook for the civil engineering construction sector in Australia. Covers 12 sub-sectors of civil construction, from the main transport and utilities infrastructure sectors through to mines and heavy industrial facilities.

In recent years, resources investment has been the dominant driver of engineering construction activity, supported by increased public investment in transport and utilities infrastructure. However, this sector is facing significant challenges in 2013 as resources-related investment peaks while State and Federal Governments make cuts to expenditure. Stronger opportunities for construction contractors and suppliers are expected in subsequent years as the next round of resources projects get underway and a recovery takes shape in public investment. Some sub-sectors and regions will be better placed than others to take advantage of the next round of work.
