The State of Manufacturing Construction

As capital shifts from greenfield builds to brownfield line expansions, real-time portfolio visibility is your key to protecting Start of Production.

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.
