The construction skills gap may become a crisis, with 225,000 additional workers needed in four years. Ryan Jones, managing director of SLG Agency and founder of Deconstruction, says the industry needs to work on its image Image is everything. Well, perhaps not everything, but it is essential. In the case of the construction skills gap, image is detrimental to the sector’s ability to recruit and retain talent, which means the industry can’t provide the country with the essential homes and infrastructure it needs. https://bit.ly/40ADIbW

The construction industry needs new blood to help close the skills gap. Students have to understand that the sector isn’t just about ‘on-the-ground’ trades, but includes architects, designers, IT specialists, planners, landscape architects, marketers, accountants, surveyors. Construction is a ‘proper career’. It deserves our emerging talent.

Offsite Modular Construction: A Strategic Solution to the Construction Industry's Workforce Crisis The construction industry stands at a critical juncture, facing a looming workforce crisis with the projected need for an additional 10,000 workers by 2029. Amidst this challenge, offsite modular construction emerges as a transformative solution that can mitigate the impact of the skilled labor shortage while delivering numerous benefits. Offsite modular construction involves the prefabrication of building components in a controlled factory environment, which are then transported to the construction site for assembly. This method offers a strategic alternative to traditional construction practices and aligns perfectly with the need for an adaptable and skilled workforce. https://lnkd.in/dg79JHxY The benefits of offsite modular construction—such as increased efficiency, improved quality, enhanced safety, and sustainability—are widely recognised in the construction industry and BUILDOFFSITE have published numerous industry guides to support and demonstrate the facts. 🔧 Offsite modular construction offers a strategic solution. Here's how: 🚀 Efficiency & Speed Parallel processing in factories Reduces project timelines by 30-50% Shaun Weston of British Offsite Limited referenced 20-30% time efficiencies in the BOPAS forum factory tour last week. Cuts labor costs 🔍 Enhanced Quality & Precision Controlled factory environment Higher construction quality Less rework needed 🛠 Safety & Work Conditions Safer factory settings Attract young talent Better job satisfaction 🌱 Sustainability & Innovation Less waste, lower environmental impact Encourages tech adoption Boosts productivity 📚 Skills Development New training programs Prepare workforce for high-tech roles Addresses skills gap 💡 Economic Resilience Timely completion of projects Supports economic growth Benefits society Embracing offsite modular construction is the key to overcoming our industry's labor challenges and building a stronger future! 💪 #Construction #Innovation #WorkforceDevelopment #ModularConstruction BUILDOFFSITE
