For over 50 years, the Riders Digest has provided trusted, data-driven insights to help construction professionals plan, budget and deliver with confidence.

The 2026 Queensland Edition brings together up-to-date cost data and regional intelligence to reflect the market forces shaping construction activity across the state. Queensland continues to experience strong growth across metropolitan and regional centres, supported by a particularly robust construction pipeline. Population growth, major infrastructure programs and sustained development activity are influencing conditions across Brisbane, the Gold Coast, the Sunshine Coast and the northern regions.

Market indicators suggest construction activity will remain high, with cost pressures likely to increase across Brisbane, the Gold Coast and Townsville as demand for labour and resources intensifies. RLB’s longstanding presence across Queensland ensures our analysis reflects both statewide trends and local market realities.

As RLB celebrates more than 75 years in Australia, our focus remains on clarity, accuracy and practical insight. Our teams in Brisbane, the Gold Coast, the Sunshine Coast, Townsville and Cairns bring the on-the-ground knowledge that underpins the Riders Digest’s relevance in the Queensland market.
