Construction's 2026 pay picture is a contradiction worth understanding. The sector has the highest forecast pay award of any UK industry at 6.35% — almost double the all-sector average — even as vacancies have fallen 32.4% year-on-year and the construction PMI has logged 14 straight months of contraction. Both are true: the market is smaller, but employers are competing harder for the right commercial hires within it.
