Unprecedented price increases for a wide range of goods and services used in construction pushed up contractors’ costs by a devastating 26.3 percent from June 2020 to June 2021, according to an analysis by AGC of America of government data released recently. Association officials cautioned that rising materials prices are making it difficult for many construction firms to benefit from the re-opening of the economy, undermining the sector’s ability to add new, high-paying jobs.

Legal trends are something construction professionals of all stripes keep an eye on, but the topic is beyond broad. Legislation and specific concerns — everything from environmental issues to those related to union labor — vary wildly by region and state.

Before 2020, construction was the second least digitized industry in the world, second only to agriculture. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the industry’s adoption of new technologies to maintain and improve jobsite efficiency. A key factor behind this shift? Mobility.

The median age of construction workers is 41, according to a National Association of Home Builders’ analysis of the most recent 2019 American Community Survey data, an attribute that makes contractors' efforts to attract new workers to the industry even more urgent.

To expand its training facilities, Western Technical College moved its shooting range from a classroom building to an existing well-built storage building on the school’s 160-acre campus near Sparta, Wis. Eliminating the frequent sound of gunfire in a classroom building and reducing sound leakage were among the primary reasons for moving the range. SONEX® Valueline Panels from pinta acoustic, inc. were installed to absorb sound reverberation and reduce decibel (dB) levels inside the building while minimizing noise outside the facility. pinta acoustic products, including SONEX Valueline and SONEX Classic panels, have been installed in many shooting ranges, including law enforcement, military, commercial and residential gun ranges.
