The Top 5 Pain Points in Construction – and How to Tackle Them

The construction industry is no stranger to challenges—from rising costs to labour shortages. But with reports predicting industry growth of 2.5% in the next year, there’s plenty of opportunity for those who can adapt. Let’s dive into five key hurdles and how smart solutions can help.

1. Inflation: Doing More with Less

Soaring material costs and supply chain issues have squeezed margins. The key? Efficiency. Digital tools like SPEC2SITE connect design specs with job sites, reducing waste by up to 30%—a game-changer in today’s market.

2. Labour Shortage: The Next Generation Awaits
