Navigating the complexities of construction in Japan 

Japan’s construction industry has been experiencing unprecedented levels of demand. The upcoming World Expo 2025 and a surge in data centre construction are among the factors contributing to market pressure. Another has been the renaissance of the tourism sector, which has resulted in global investment being channelled into the leisure and hospitality industries. This demand has left Japan’s construction market facing challenges in resourcing and project delivery. 

Our local project controls teams are helping global clients navigate the complexities of this environment effectively and safely. With our local experience, we are positioned to support delivery of projects on time and budget. We are delivering some of the industry’s most exciting projects and programmes, including Expo 2025 pavilions. Our portfolio also includes global retail programmes, data centre projects and portfolios, corporate real estate projects, hotels and entertainment attractions.
