Construction Outlook for ’24: Forbidding or Reason for Cheer?

Construction is in transition. A slowing economy and rising interest rates are threatening private investment. But growth in manufacturing, power, and infrastructure investment may outweigh any decline in income-producing properties.

Better Together: Creating Connectivity in a Divided World

Humans evolved for connection but working together isn’t always easy.  Differences in what we believe impacts how we interact, creating division that can be costly in terms of safety and efficiency on the jobsite. A successful project requires leaders and employees, members of cross-functional teams, and collections of departments in an organization to work together toward a common goal.
