Lunch and Learn – Construction and Labor Costs Panel

CARW December Lunch and Learn – Construction and Labor Costs Panel | December 15, 2014

Construction costs in the U.S. fell approximately 12 percent in 2008 through year-end 2010. Since then, they have steadily risen and are approaching their 2008 highs. The steady creep of rebuilding costs can create a sizeable gap between the dollar amount that commercial property owners have to rebuild and what it actually costs if disaster strikes. Other factors can enlarge that gap.

Take-aways from our discussion include:

– A look at the construction, material cost and labor cost trends over the past 5 years – both locally and nationally;
– How the labor shortage impacts the cost of construction;
– Best practices for preparing a team of experts to benefit your business;
– An understanding of where the construction market is going over the next 2 years;
– Question and answer session

Speakers include:
Joe Jursenas from Briohn Building Corporation and Tom Thayer from Tri-North will guide the discussion
