In a recent report highlighting top issues for specialty contractors over the last year, 90% of the companies surveyed reported direct negative impacts from labor shortages and with 33% of their current staff expected to retire over the coming 5 years.

In order to combat these shortages, 43% of large specialty contractors (companies making $200M or more) intend to dramatically increase their investments in Offsite Construction. This trend is expected to propagate across the industry with small and medium sized contractors expected to increase their current levels of Offsite Construction work by 50% over the coming 12 months. 

Offsite Construction boosts construction productivity by simplifying and standardizing designs and pairing this with the efficiencies of factory production and manufacturing. This offers a long term solution to dealing with labor shortages over the coming decade and will likely represent the future of construction.  

In this Expert Insight, Offsight sits down with WWCCA (Western Wall & Ceiling Contractors Association) Vice President, Nick Carrillo, to discuss how his members are leveraging Offsite Construction in their major projects. We discuss what they see as some of the largest challenges they face and how investing in Offsite Construction today can be a major  game changer in overcoming those challenges in the next few years.
