Today’s uncertain economic environment impacts all facets of the design and construction industry.
With interest rates shifting, inflation a continuing concern, and unstable supply chains, it has become harder to plan and budget with confidence. Rising material costs and labor shortages are delaying projects and inflating budgets, while tighter lending conditions are causing clients to reassess or postpone new developments. There’s a growing demand for sustainable and resilient solutions, increasing pressure to innovate while facing more constraints. All this is further exasperated by intense scrutiny of all facets of the workforce within the design and construction industry.
No one has the answers, but what we do know is: it’s essential to come together to learn from experts and share information with one another.
