CIRT’s Q2 2026 Sentiment Index reflects a slightly more cautious outlook among member firms, driven primarily by softer views of the broader U.S. economy.

Members remain relatively confident in their own businesses, with reported strength in both books and backlogs pointing to continued resilience across the design and construction sectors.
