In considering the challenges facing construction workers, mental health isn’t usually the first thing that comes to mind. There is, after all, a persistent image of the construction worker as a robust figure, sturdy and stoical. They may be prone to physical injuries, but not mental health issues.

Advances in digital technology are transforming industries across the world, and construction is no exception. One of the most revolutionary innovations has been the development of digital twin technology, which is already helping builders improve job efficiency, foster collaboration, and enhance worker safety.
The goal of reducing emissions of greenhouse gasses (GHG) to net zero has become a priority for industries of all types, including construction. That means achieving a balance between the amount of GHG added to the atmosphere and the amount removed from it. Innovations in technology have put this goal within reach—even for large structures such as pre-engineered metal buildings (PEMB).

Before building a commercial or industrial structure, it’s wise to create a financial plan that takes into account all the factors that you will deal with as a building owner.

A helpful tool in this process is the cost segregation study.

Anyone entering a field that involves safety risks would be well advised to take an OSHA course. And many jobs require it. Entry-level workers can take a 10-hour course, while supervisors, safety directors, forepersons and others in positions of responsibility are encouraged to take the 30-hour training—popularly known as OSHA 30.
