As we round third and head home into the year 2021, we take a look back at the crisis of 2020. This year was very challenging and devastating for the world with the Coronavirus Pandemic surging across the planet in March. The United States and many other countries had to fight the virus while try and recover from lockdowns and restrictions. Economies were struggling to move up. With all of the turmoil that occurred, what does the year 2021 look like for construction?
Construction in 2020
As lockdowns hit the country, the construction industry had to take a slight pause in construction jobs. With less people working due to the virus, layoffs, and other cutbacks, jobs were put on hold, slowed down, and rescheduled. Now, we’re seeing construction climb back out of the ditch with residential construction back on track and many construction workers getting back to their regular jobs. This a great sign for the industry and the country.
With everything that hit in 2020, the construction industry will change essentially for the better. New technology and better construction working environments could propel the industry into new horizons.
Looking Towards 2021
Some predict the problems of 2020 in construction to spill over and continue in the new year. Why is this? Well, for one, the pandemic can still linger into the new year with people’s concerns of the virus. Workers will look for other jobs where they can stay safer. Other reasons could be the supply chain issues, as well as the rising of prices for equipment for jobs.
Other experts believe we will have a major bounce back with construction jobs due to new technology and a change of protocols. Some evidence can point to new remote-control technology for heavy equipment and machinery on the job site.
