The construction industry is on the rise at a national level – a huge number of new projects are started each day and this trend of growth is palpable in Michigan, too. Construction in the Great Lake State is booming in the residential segment as well as in the commercial, industrial and public sector as well – here are the most common trends that drive the construction business today:
- Energy-efficiency – individuals and businesses nowadays focus on energy-efficiency, the incorporation of sustainable technologies that reduce energy needs being increasingly in demand;
- Harnessing the energy provided by nature – rain water harvesting and construction that makes the most of natural light is also becoming more and more common;
- Smart solutions – smart buildings that use systems controllable using mobile devices are also increasingly popular in Michigan and so are the subsystems that can be incorporated into already existing buildings as a means to add smart functionality;
- Labor shortage – it is a paradox of the construction industry at the level of the entire nation that despite the huge number of projects started, the building industry is still struggling to find suitable workforce. The shortage affects mostly skilled and unskilled work, but office staff and management are also very much in demand. The demand for roofing Canton MI homes and businesses is in demand as well.
