This episode focuses on the 2026 Contractor Outlook Survey. Each year, the survey provides a real-time snapshot of what contractors are experiencing, what’s driving confidence, what risks are emerging, and how the industry is responding to ongoing economic and policy pressures. This year’s results paint an interesting picture. On one hand, contractors remain busy; on the other, there’s a clear sense of caution about what lies ahead. In this episode of OCS Talks, Katherine Jacobs joins Brian to unpack the findings of the 2026 Contractor Outlook Survey and what they signal for the year ahead.
