Price inflation and supply chain disruption threaten the bottom line for many construction and engineering (C&E) firms, struggling in an industry where profit margins are already low, and increased costs are sparking uncertainty for financial planners.

Project managers need a shift in mindset to proactive fiscal management supported by purpose-built technology—which will ensure construction businesses remain profitable in the face of increasing price fluctuations.
