Why construction has the biggest upside of any sector
Construction industry turnover
Annual average across Australian projects
Australian economy average
National turnover benchmark
40% higher than the national average — which is exactly why construction has the biggest engagement upside of any sector.
Three sources of project upside
Already on your project P&L — just not labelled that way.
Retention
Every percentage point of crew turnover you reverse keeps salary, mobilisation cost, and site IP on the project.
Productivity
Engaged crews routinely run 5–15% above disengaged ones — lifting margin on the existing wage bill.
Speed & Quality
Better leadership shortens decisions, cuts rework, lifts safety, and accelerates ramp-up — compounding across program.
At a construction-industry average salary of $112,000, retaining one extra person on the project is worth $56,000–$224,000 a year in recoverable cost and on-site productivity.
Multiply by your real headcount and turnover — that's your number.
