Groundwork — March Quarter 2026
Edition: March Quarter 2026
Release date: 04 May 2026
Groundwork is Projectory's quarterly major projects intelligence report. Each edition takes the Projectory major projects dataset and translates it into actionable commercial intelligence for business development managers, contractors, suppliers, and senior executives operating across Australia's construction, energy, resources, transport, and defence sectors.
The March 2026 edition draws on five consecutive quarters of Projectory data — the first edition to do so — and covers 300 active projects with $184 billion in identified capital and 70 trigger events due within 12 months.
This edition includes a full executive dashboard, five-quarter pipeline trend analysis, sector-by-sector verdicts, regional hotspot analysis, a procurement radar across 38 active projects, a 12-month trigger calendar, CAPEX band analysis, nine named commercial signals, and a 90-day forward look.
The March 2026 edition is free to download.
Preview
The pipeline contracted for three consecutive quarters. Then it didn't.
300 active projects. $184 billion in identified capital. 70 construction starts and investment decisions due in the next 12 months. For the first time in five quarters, both overall pipeline activity and resources sector momentum are rising simultaneously. Broad-based recoveries tend to sustain.
The WA Goldfields sub-region nearly tripled in project count in a single quarter — the fastest sub-regional acceleration recorded in the dataset period. Tasmania is running four concurrent procurement processes simultaneously. Data centres have entered the major projects pipeline as a genuine category for the first time. And Marinus Link has finally reached Investment Decision after appearing in all five consecutive quarterly lists.
The question is not whether the pipeline is recovering. It is who is paying attention.
