Economists: What construction trends will shape 2026? Acorn Finance is seeking to interview a construction economist, housing market analyst, or senior trade association expert (e.g., NAHB, AIA, ABC) for a forward-looking piece on Key Trends & Forecasts for 2026. This article will help contractors understand where the market is headed and how to prepare for another year of tight margins and ongoing volatility. We’re specifically looking for experts who can speak to industry-wide data, macro trends, and forecasts—not individual project experience. Contractors or vendors should not respond. Topics we’ll cover include: -The major economic and housing trends shaping construction in 2026 -Expectations for materials inflation and labor availability -The impact of interest rates and financing conditions on homeowner demand -Which segments (remodeling, new builds, green retrofits) appear most resilient -How technology and automation adoption are changing contractor operations -What current data shows about contractor backlogs and bid volumes -Regional or market-specific activity to watch next year -How small and mid-sized contractors should prepare now for a tighter year -Potential policy, infrastructure, or regulatory tailwinds -One under-the-radar opportunity contractors may be overlooking This will be a 30-minute Google Meet interview. If interested, please send: -Your name, title, and organization -Your website or LinkedIn profile -A brief note on your background in construction economics, housing research, or industry analysis
