You can invest in the best construction equipment money can buy. But it doesn’t matter what equipment you own if you don’t have the people to operate it. You know what gets us excited? Getting younger generations excited about the skilled trades and extending our knowledge to them whenever and wherever we can. We’re working to close the skilled labor gap by showing younger generations the world of opportunity within our industry. There are endless possibilities to get your hands dirty out in the field or to work in an office setting in more of a technical role. Either way, the people of the skilled trades industry are what keep us running and our machines too. Don’t overlook them. #skilledtrades #skilledlabor #bluecollar #skillsgap

When it comes to labor tracking you never know what set of challenges you will see on a construction project. Some jobs are simple. Some jobs are complex. So, the solution has to be something that's modular. When we were building SmartBarrel, we had to build it with that in mind. We've visited tons of different contractors, and everyone had different labor tracking practices, even among a single contractor, there was often different labor tracking for different types and durations of projects. That's why SmartBarrel is so versatile. Whether it's being used on a job that will last a day or a job that will last years is irrelevant. What matters is that you can easily use it on any job with any standard operating procedures that you have.

The construction industry remains one of the largest in the world, contributing $13 trillion to global gross output in 2023—about 7% of the total. By 2040, it's expected to grow by 70%, but many engineers and constructors are already struggling to meet today’s demand due to tight labour markets for critical roles like engineers, craft workers, and project managers. To meet future demand with a shrinking workforce, an increase in productivity could be critical. Boosting productivity not only helps deliver projects with fewer people but also opens financial space to raise wages and invest in better tools and practices. While improving overall productivity is a complex challenge, a simple step on your job site could be adopting multi-tools like the Rated Insulated Multi-tool—6 tools in one. It’s designed to make jobs more efficient, allowing you to do more with less. #ConstructionIndustry #Productivity #InnovationInTools #FutureOfWork #ConstructionGrowth

Construction workers spend only 35% of their time on value-added tasks. Here is the remainder of their time: 1. Waiting 2. Travel and Setup 3. Administrative Tasks 4. Rework 5. Idle Time Imagine the results if your crews spent 55% on value added tasks?

The problem with a lot of Construction Pro’s is that they only do what has always been done. Hardly any one wants to try something new in case it does not work out or because they could waste their time But this is how previous Construction Pro’s have always innovated. We have always tried to cover new ground and have taken calculated risks So look for information that you don’t agree with ask yourself what can this teach me and why do I agree or not agree with it If you do what everyone else has always done, you will get what everyone else will get This worked great for the last 100 years but we are now in a period of change that will unfortunately wipe away a lot of low performers in the construction industry #constructionpro #constructionmastery
