The Built Environment Growth Index

The Built Environment Growth Index
A Peopledesign Research Initiative

The built environment needs an honest benchmark. We’re building one.

The BE Growth Index is the only independent annual benchmark tracking the strategic health of built environment manufacturers: Growth confidence, differentiation, marketing investment, digital maturity, and more. 

Most BE companies make growth decisions based on instinct, anecdote, and whatever the rep said last week. The BE Growth Index gives you something better: sector-wide data on how the industry is actually competing.

The 2025 BE Growth Index surveyed 64 senior leaders across the Built Environment manufacturing sector. What they said about growth, differentiation, and marketing investment is worth reading, and occasionally uncomfortable.
