March has arrived with little sign of the UK’s bad weather easing its grip on the construction industry. Since the start of 2026, persistent rain and saturated ground conditions have tested project timelines across the UK. Not only have sites faced delays through the ongoing lack of demand, but also due to the simple fact that construction still answers to the UK’s inclement climate – an issue that is likely to become even more significant as our climate grows wetter in the coming years. Groundworks have stalled, roofing programmes have shifted, and logistics have become more complicated as access routes and storage areas struggle to cope with the conditions.
