Although it showed a slowdown compared to previous months, the construction industry in Mexico maintained its growth streak in June 2026 , according to the results of the National Survey of Construction Companies (ENEC) of the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (Inegi) .

In the sixth month of the year, on a monthly basis, the production value of construction companies registered an increase of 0.1% , while in its annual comparison it grew 6.9 percent.

During the period, construction- related works  increased by 1 percent.  Water, irrigation, and sanitation works  increased by 1.8 percent.

Transportation projects  fell 6.5%, following the recovery they had experienced last May. This category includes railway projects such as the construction of the Querétaro-Saltillo passenger train, for which the  Agency for Trains and Integrated Public Transportation (ATTRAPI) has already launched tenders for sections 1 and 2.

According to the Inegi report, the number of people employed  in the construction sector in the country rose 0.1% monthly and 0.9% annually.

Hours  worked  showed positive performance in June 2026. This item showed an increase of 0.6% on a monthly basis and 1% annually, reflecting progress in this indicator.

Meanwhile,  average real wages  showed mixed performance, with a 0.5% decline on a monthly basis and a 2.2% increase on an annual basis, which improved the income of construction workers.

 Public sector works grew  32.6 % in June 2026  compared to the same month last year, marking six months of increases after 20 consecutive contractions .

It is worth remembering that the federal government presented an infrastructure plan that includes  5.6 trillion pesos of public and mixed investment between 2026 and 2030  for various infrastructure projects.

Meanwhile, the value of production in the private sector  fell 1.6 percent year-on-year, marking eight consecutive months of decline.

The ENEC results show that public investment has remained a strong driver of the construction sector, with projects stemming from the Mexico Plan , which seeks to consolidate an infrastructure network to attract investment, especially through the construction of industrial parks.

Other investment projects include airports, as well as the expansion of the country’s road network with the modernization of 802 kilometers.

El cargo Mexican construction industry shows solid progress in June apareció primero en T21.

According to the documents of both tenders, for the Querétaro-Irapuato there will be 30.30 kilometers (km) of section I Querétaro Industrial Zone-Apaseo El Grande Industrial Zone , sub-section from km 6+000 to km 36+300, which also includes the construction of viaducts.

During the reception of clarifications, the interested parties expressed various doubts, among them, if during the construction the freight roads will be in operation, if the tender would allow the participation of two companies that share a common shareholder, if the execution area and the right of way are 100% released , as well as in the execution of civil works, “we understand that the works for movement of freight roads with their railway signaling or construction of new freight roads, including excavation, should be included, to mention a few.

The Ministry of Infrastructure, Communications and Transportation (SICT)stated that the allocation of resources for this project in 2025 amounts to 1,376,056,363.64 pesos .

He indicated that construction work will begin on July 30 of this year, with a completion period of 671 calendar days. The opening of proposals will be on July 8.

For the Saltillo-Nuevo Laredo train, the first section will be the construction of 100.05 km, segments 16 and 17 Unión San Javier–Arroyo El Sauz,which is scheduled to begin on July 31st, with a completion date of 960 calendar days.

Similarly, the SICT detailed that the allocation of resources for this project amounts to two billion 908 million 706 thousand 325 pesos .

Other companies that also expressed interest were Constructora Moyeda , Acciona Infraestructuras México, Comsa Infraestructuras, China Railway International Group Limited , Mexico Construction Company, Operadora Cicsa, Construcciones Urales, China Communications Construction Company México, ICA Constructora, and others.

El cargo More than 40 companies have expressed interest in the Querétaro-Irapuato and Saltillo-Nuevo Laredo trains. apareció primero en T21.

Samsara , the pioneer of the Connected Operations Platform, highlighted its growing impact on the construction sector, offering artificial intelligence (AI) -based solutions that help optimize operations, improve safety, and reduce costs, according to a press release from the company.

The firm has positioned itself as a key partner for thousands of construction companies  that have standardized their processes using Samsara’s tools.

According to the company’s fourth-quarter fiscal 2025 financial results, the construction industry drove the company’s highest net annual contract value (ACV) addition for six consecutive quarters.

This trend is a result of improvements in three key areas : jobsite safety , asset visibility and fuel efficiency .

Advances in AI technology have led to a significant decrease in accidents both on the road and at worksites. By advising workers on safe driving habits and exonerating them from accidents in which they are not at fault, Samsara has improved overall safety.

“We are proud to empower the construction industry to operate safely and efficiently while creating our essential infrastructure,” said Robert Stobaugh, Director of Operations-GTM at Samsara.

Samsara also reported that it has improved equipment tracking through discreet and durable tracking devices , such as the Asset Tracker, enabling its customers to recover stolen or lost assets and reduce costs associated with equipment replacement.

This system has proven effective for companies like Cable East , which recovered $2.5 million in assets thanks to the enhanced visibility provided by Samsara’s technology, the press release noted.

Reduction of fuel costs

Another key benefit was improved fuel efficiency . By promoting more responsible driving habits and eliminating unnecessary idling, fleets have achieved significant savings.

Eric Thiessen, transportation manager at Emery Sapp & Sons , noted that his company experienced a 25% decrease in liability accidents and a 40% reduction in incidents reported to the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) .

Samsara’s AI technology has proven to be key for companies in the construction sector. Sterling Crane Canada saved over $3 million in maintenance thanks to improved equipment reliability, while The Rasmussen Group reduced mobile device use while driving by 90% and speeding by 70%, improving safety. In this way, Samsara seeks to continue transforming the industry, improving efficiency, safety, and reducing costs.
