“It’s Not My Job”
We are no longer the industry of our fathers and grandfathers, and we will not prosper if we do not understand what that entails. There is no easy fix for our labor shortage. But there is a fix in a collective and determined effort.
Employee Engagement
With almost 50% of the construction workforce retiring in the next decade, the construction industry must find new and innovative ways to attract younger workers.
Patience
The current market is approaching a “disorderly” status. What does that mean for contractors? What are a contractor’s options?

Economic Schizophrenia
Surging inflation, global energy supply shortages, Russia’s invasion of the Ukraine, and Chinese pandemic-related disruptions to economic activity have brewed the perfect storm of economic instability.
