Why is finding quality leads such a challenge for contractors? Many are pouring resources into marketing with little return to show for their efforts. 

Rising material costs, high interest rates, and economic uncertainties have created a perfect storm, slowing down the market and making customer lead generation tougher than ever. 

Discover how done-for-you lead generation can transform your business and solve these challenges effectively. 

Top Customer Lead Generation Challenges 

Experts are expecting around 1% growth in spending on construction for 2025. What’s behind this projection? 

Material Prices 

Since 2020, inflation, the rising demand for raw materials, and shipping challenges have caused a significant increase in costs for construction, electrical, HVAC, and plumbing supplies. For instance, steel mill products have increased by 77%. Rising construction material costs make it hard to attract customers with competitive bids. 

Longer Lead Times 

Getting your hands on the materials you need for a project is increasingly difficult due to global shipping challenges, labor shortages, and limited raw materials. As a result, lead times can be as long as 60 weeks for supplies like electrical switchgear, making jobs difficult to plan. Not being able to give customers a clear timeline is another obstacle to securing high-value customer leads. 

Budget-Conscious Consumers 

Consumers are shying away from major purchases in light of inflation and high interest rates. They tend to be budget-conscious, delay major projects, or choose the cheapest option regardless of expertise or quality. 

How Do These Challenges Affect Your Business? 

These construction industry challenges have several consequences for your business: 

• Instead of dedicating your time to billable projects, you’re forced to invest substantial resources into lead generation with little to no return. 
• Fewer jobs in your pipeline, combined with rising material costs, cut deeply into profitability. 
• Shrinking profits make it harder to submit competitive bids or offer attractive salaries, further complicating hiring in an already tight labor market. 
• Limited profitability leaves little room to reinvest in growth, stalling your business’s potential for expansion.
