Expect more robots in modular construction.
Rick Murdock, CEO of Autovol, a Nampa, Idaho-based modular construction company, said as much during the 2022 World of Modular convention and tradeshow in San Antonio.
It’s no secret that labor shortages have been hitting industries across the United States. The construction industry needs more than half a million workers above its current pace of hiring in order to meet demand this year, according to an analysis by Associated Builders and Contractors. Median age of the workforce also raises concerns, as fewer young workers join and construction veterans retire.
