Wisconsin has been ranked the top state for #construction by Associated Builders and Contractors in its 10th annual Merit Shop Scorecard.

Associated Builders and Contractors released their 10th annual Merit Shop Scorecard with Wisconsin, Arkansas, Kentucky, West Virginia and Florida as the 2024 Top Five States in Construction. The Merit Shop Scorecard is based on Project Labor Agreements, Prevailing Wages, Right to Work Laws, Public-Private Partnerships, Workforce Development, Career and Technical Education, and Job Growth Rates. These states put policies and processes in place to protect free enterprise, promote economic growth, reduce regularity burdens and expand workforce development to create the conditions which promote construction. It’s crucial that we build America swiftly and cost-effectively, but above all, we must build America to stand the test of time. As the demand for faster construction grows, so does the need for increased labor and speed to meet ambitious deadlines. At Scottsdale Construction Systems, we have the technology to overcome these challenges by providing advanced off-site roll-forming solutions for residential, commercial and industrial construction. Our products, systems, technology, software, and support empower builders to deliver projects that will last. Together we can contribute to the growth and success of the U.S. construction industry.
