Lack of money leaves 8 in 10 building sites stalled across the country

Story from Expansão, 19 September 2026.

The story, based on INE's monitoring of building sites in the second quarter of 2026, reports that 78.1% of the 5,691 sites visited were stalled. According to the article, 95% of the sites inspected were for housing, mostly self-build. The factors cited include low purchasing power, difficulty getting credit and rising materials costs. The situation varied widely between provinces.

Opinion: This is a strong warning for anyone planning to build in stages. Before starting, I would prepare a full budget, a reserve for the unexpected, a realistic schedule and a strategy for buying materials. It is better to size the project to your financial capacity and finish one working unit than to start a build that is too big and run out of cash. For developers, off-plan sales should only be used with transparency and strict control of the funds.
