Key Findings

A Note from Carl Oliveri & Robert Brewer

Every two years, we conduct this survey to better understand the challenges, opportunities, and priorities shaping the construction and A&E industries across the Northeast. Since our founding more than 45 years ago, Grassi has been proud to serve as a trusted advisor to the firms building our infrastructure and our communities, guiding leaders through cost pressures, labor shifts, regulatory change, and important financial and operational decisions.

As the industry moves toward a more digital future and works to mitigate persistent challenges, the landscape is evolving too, offering new tax credits, powerful technology, and more visibility into performance than ever before. We hope this report helps you benchmark your company against nearly 200 of your peers, identify what the most resilient firms are doing differently, and plan with greater clarity, not just for the year ahead, but for the indefinite future.
