Infrastructure Boom at Risk: New Data Warns of Budget Creep, Inefficiencies and Costly Rework in the Construction Sector
- On May 20, 2025, in Lausanne, Switzerland, Revizto published its first worldwide study examining the challenges faced by the $13 trillion construction sector, focusing on digital design and construction trends.
- The report highlights that increasing inefficiencies, escalating costs, and client-induced changes are putting at risk the rapidly growing investments across sectors such as transportation networks, technology facilities, and government-funded developments worldwide.
- Surveying over 2,000 AECO professionals, primarily leaders from large firms with complex projects, the study found 41% prioritize infrastructure growth while 56% cite client changes as main causes of costly rework.
- The report emphasizes technology integration as the top business challenge, with 63% following AI and automation developments, yet 27% still use outdated tools; 92% face budget changes, often 11-20% over original estimates.
- Arman Gukasyan and other industry experts emphasize the critical need for innovative, cooperative workflows to cut down on waste, rework, and budget issues as the construction sector expands, with the worldwide market expected to grow to $22 trillion by the year 2040.

Drivers of infrastructure delays: What can 480 projects across three continents teach us? | CoST – Infrastructure Transparency Initiative
By Maria da Graça Prado “Over budget, over time, over and over again.” Professor Bent Flyvbjerg’s striking quote on infrastructure summarises a reality that practitioners across the globe know too well.
