Tariffs Add New Pressure to Commercial Construction Budgets
Cushman & Wakefield reports tariffs on imported building materials will materially raise CRE construction costs.
- Main announcement/action: Cushman & Wakefield finds tariffs on imported building materials are expected to increase construction materials costs by an average of 9% in 2025, resulting in a ~4.6% increase in total project costs in Q4 2025 vs Q4 2024; tariff rates up to 50% on metals (steel, aluminum, copper), copper-intensive projects can require as much as 50,000 tons of copper per site, tariff pass-through estimated at 75%, and ~40% of CRE construction materials are imported (largest sources: Canada, Mexico, European Union).
- Background and details: Analysis notes it does not account for other market-driven cost shifts (labor, substitution, supply/demand); Cushman & Wakefield cites existing headwinds (high interest rates, cautious lending) and limited domestic production capacity for key inputs (new facilities would take years to build). Recommended mitigations include diversifying procurement channels, considering prefabricated systems, and engaging project management experts to limit cost overruns.
