In this video we will cover the top things in the construction industry for 2025 and how you can help grow your career in the industry.
0:00 Intro
0:21 Labor Shortage
There is a labor shortage on the field and the office side for the construction industry. However, developers still want to build. This means this can be a great time to start your construction career, but it is also concerning for the future.
3:12 Technology
Due to the labor shortage, companies may start to get aggressive on the technology side of things. AI Tools and the use of modeling and design coordination may help move things forward.
5:03 Interest Rates
It has been a higher interest rate environment over the past year or two and it has made developers hold off on projects. As interest rates fall, more projects may start to come online, but also be sure you know the impact that comes along with that financially.
6:02 Materials and Politics
With policies such as tariffs, its more important than ever to know how the world may be affecting the construction industry or your construction project site.
7:04 Housing
With the natural disasters that have occurred and the general housing shortage, more housing projects should come online to help.
8:05 So What Should You Do?
