Sector trends 2027

Demand for talent remains strong across the entire sector, driven by solid market fundamentals such as very low interest rates, sustained housing demand, etc. That said, we remain attentive to potential headwinds, including an increasingly stringent regulatory environment and the possible tightening of the Lex Koller framework.

On the investor and owner side, demand for technical profiles and Asset Managers continues to grow, reflecting a clear focus on active portfolio management and asset optimisation.

Several major investors are developing their own in-house property management platforms, creating attractive opportunities for professionals looking to move away from traditional property management companies.

Construction managers remain highly sought after by architectural firms, while the pool of qualified candidates continues to be extremely limited.

Civil engineering salaries continue to rise significantly, driven by strong demand and limited internal career progression opportunities.
