Ripples and Waves
New York Region's Construction
Industry Faces Historic Changes
Construction is booming in the New York region, a fact that
partly obscures many pressures that are capable of transforming
the industry, some for better and some for worse. Every corner
of the industry, from engineers to hardhats, may well find their
career prospects and daily routines altered by the discussions,
negotiations, and trends that are bubbling to the surface.
In a city where construction cycles continue to speed up, contractors,
developers, designers, labor, and the army of service providers
around the industry face historic opportunities and decisions
in the coming months and years. Technology, creativity, and
collaboration may well provide solutions to all of the challenges
on the horizon. But turf battles, competitive rivalries, financial
strains, conflicting interests, and market forces could pull
those same players apart.
