Arcadis’ ICC 2026 analysis flagged Hong Kong’s six-place drop in global construction cost rankings, driven by real estate weakness and cost deflation.
US dollar depreciation versus European and UK currencies lifted US-dollar construction costs in those markets, improving their ranking versus Hong Kong.
Macau slipped to 21st from 15th, reflecting its indirect peg to the US dollar via the Hong Kong dollar despite broadly stable costs.
Arcadis pointed to elevated financing costs, supply-chain constraints, energy price volatility, and rising technical complexity as key delivery risks.
Industrialized methods such as MiC and MiMEP, digital construction, and more collaborative contracting were cited as supporting productivity and cost certainty.
