The Data-Driven Concrete Contractor

ForConstructionPros | March 23, 2026

The global construction market is projected to reach $17.26 trillion in 2026 and grow to $21.73 trillion by 2030, driven by infrastructure investment, digital construction adoption, automation, and sustainable building practices. At the same time, contractors are operating under labor shortages, rising material costs, and increasing pressure to deliver faster with tighter margins. The concrete cycle has become one of the highest-leverage phases of a project. In that environment, delays in the concrete cycle quickly turn into real cost. Waiting on cylinder break test results can add days to sequencing decisions, and on some projects, those setbacks can translate up to about $10,000 in labor and related costs per floor as crews wait to move forward.
