Drawing on experts we’ve interviewed over the past several months, this inaugural report forecasts what our editors believe will be the prevailing trends next year, and what factors could potentially impact those trends, positively or negatively. 

Our predictions touch on how the worldwide supply chain, labor availability, and climate change will affect construction demand, materials choices, and the industry’s search for technological answers.

Our 10 Predictions report is part of our magazine’s ongoing mission to keep our readers informed and connect the dots to help firms prosper in this competitive and challenging environment.
