Contractors Express Strong Optimism For 2025

Despite global and domestic economic uncertainty around everything from interest rates to impending tariffs, optimism in the construction industry remains high. We recently surveyed dozens of general contractors and subcontractors to understand their outlook for 2025 and their business priorities for the year. Overwhelmingly, respondents said they were “very confident” or “extremely confident” about hitting their targets in 2025.

SkillSignal finds that contractors across the country

have a positive outlook on the remainder of 2025 and their likelihood of meeting business targets

When asked about their safety priorities for the year to come,

the bulk of those surveyed claimed either reducing onsite injuries and accidents or increasing the involvement of their leadership teams as top of their list in 2025. The latter response was echoed in the biggest safety challenges respondents identified, with a majority identifying internal resistance to change as the biggest roadblock to improving safety culture, followed closely by the well-documented labor shortage in the trades.
