Rising material costs, economic uncertainty and labor shortages rank among contractors\u2019 leading concerns. The labor market is affecting 86% of respondents\u2019 businesses, while 73% report an operational impact, most often through longer job cycle times.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cContractors are managing significant cost and workforce pressures, yet many are choosing to protect strategic business relationships while continuing to provide the same level of exceptional service to policyholders,\u201d said Lance Malcolm, president, Crawford Network Solutions. \u201cBy bringing these perspectives forward, we can help carriers better understand current contractor economics and identify practical ways to support a healthy, resilient repair ecosystem.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The report also shows broad technology adoption across the contractor community. Ninety-eight percent of respondents use technology in their businesses, including estimating and scoping, communications and documentation, project management, and field applications such as moisture detection and damage assessment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cContractor Connection is an essential part of Crawford\u2019s value proposition, combining deep managed repair expertise with a high-quality network to enhance the claims experience for carriers and policyholders. This report strengthens that value by giving us actionable insight into the contractor perspective, helping us anticipate market needs and deliver better outcomes for our clients,\u201d said Mike Hoberman, CEO, U.S. Operations, Crawford &amp; Company.<\/p>\n<p>The 2026 Managed Repair Market report is a three-part research series. The next installment, examining how managed repair programs create value for contractors, carriers and policyholders, will be released on October 21. The third installment, focused on contractor-carrier collaboration, will follow on November 11. <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fforms.cloud.microsoft%2FPages%2FResponsePage.aspx%3Fid%3DxYUp2YUwNE2znGEtgjQmLVhW7UQNOVZFn8wxWmJVFOpUNTE4VDYyUFVGWFFNR1haQUUzOENVSFBRSS4u&amp;esheet=54618415&amp;newsitemid=20261008598207&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Sign+up&amp;index=1&amp;md5=92790d58905f7a0b881eb7a2bfd11f35\">Sign up<\/a> to receive updates via email and visit the <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.contractorconnection.com%2Fmrr&amp;esheet=54618415&amp;newsitemid=20261008598207&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=report+web+page.&amp;index=2&amp;md5=93e2ef03dda2c92e6391bd2bb65a6468\">report web page.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>About Crawford<\/b><sup><b>\u00ae<\/b><\/sup><\/p>\n<p>Based in Atlanta, Crawford &amp; Company (NYSE: CRD\u2010A and CRD\u2010B) is a leading global provider of claims management and outsourcing solutions to insurance companies and self\u2010insured entities with an expansive network serving clients in more than 70 countries.
