As megaprojects mature, greenfield builds are thinning. Capital spending is down 17.4%, labor shortages sit at 94%, input costs continue to rise, and borrowing costs remain elevated. 

To protect margins, capital is pooling into targeted brownfield expansions, line retrofits, and shutdown/turnaround windows where work occurs alongside live production.

Despite these headwinds, 74.2% of manufacturers remain optimistic about their company outlook. The competitive edge in this optimization era belongs to connected owners who unify spend, schedule, and risk across external EPCM and vendor networks to protect Start of Production.

There’s no doubt that construction is an essential industry, but it remains one of the most dangerous. The financial toll of safety incidents goes far beyond the jobsite, from thousands of dollars in OSHA penalties per single violation to billions in annual workers' compensation costs. Most of these failures are not caused by a lack of intent — they happen because teams lack visibility.

Structured safety programs give teams a clear, connected view of performance across every site. Download this infographic to see the baseline industry benchmarks and discover how optimizing your software adoption can help reduce jobsite incidents by 75%.
