Human Side of Construction

09/30/2026

The estimated global construction value for 2037? ⬇️

$13.9 TRILLION USD.

That’s a 50% increase from 2022. In fifteen years the world is going to ask this industry to do half again as much as it does now.

What’s that they say about supply and demand? 💰

Demand is going up. The number of people who know how to do this work is going down. You know what that does to the price of the people.

If you’re in this industry and wondering whether you picked right — the market is about to answer that for you.

The opportunity isn’t doing more work with the same people. It’s being the company people actually want to work for when everyone is bidding for the same crews.

Are you positioned for that, or just busy? 👇

16 months into a 12 month job 😛

Agree or disagree? 👇 🤔

Talent Pipeline - smart, hardworking people who want to learn and move up.

Senior People - EXPERIENCED workers who have the knowledge to pass on to the younger generation

Knowledge Transfer - Some sort of system to help the two groups connect and facilitate teaching.

Sounds like a million dollar business idea 🤔

20 years in construction taught me three things ⬇️

1️⃣ You don’t know everything, and neither do I. Never stop learning - everyone can teach you something if you open yourself up enough to listen. Young, old, doesn’t matter. Just put your ego aside and don’t assume you know better.

2️⃣ Yelling at people doesn’t make them respect you. The best and most meaningful work comes from intrinsic motivation, not external fear. Too often the loudest, meanest and toughest person wins in construction. This tactic works great when you’re present but stops the instant you leave.

3️⃣ It’s not what you know, it’s who knows you. Build your network! Meet people, talk to them. It’s free and has huge benefits. It’s definitely not natural to everyone but anyone can do it with some practice. You don’t have to go to networking events, just talk to people and connect with them. You’d be surprised how far simple conversations get you.

Construction isn’t for everyone. It can be physically demanding. Emotionally exhausting. And spiritually draining.

But for those who are up for a challenge it can also be extremely rewarding - both financially and personally.

What’s your experience been? 👇 any advice?

“We lost a colleague. And my world blew up.”

That is how most of this work starts in construction. Too late.

So if you are the person watching this and something in it just landed, here it is straight.

It is okay to feel what you are feeling. You are not alone in it, even though almost nobody around you is saying it
out loud.

Take a couple of deep breaths. Close your eyes for a minute. Reset.

Then tell one person. A buddy over a b**r. A professional. Anybody who will sit there and listen.

Reaching out is the hardest step. The fear, the shame, the being seen. Those are not weakness, they come with
being human.

You matter. You belong here. There are people who want you here, even on the days you cannot feel it.
Stay.

Only 6% of millennial and Gen Z workers want your job. That’s not a lack of ambition ⬇️

Not because they lack ambition.

Because they redefined what ambition means — and it clashes with what we’re used to.

They watched us. They saw what the corner office actually cost: the marriages, the missed games, the “I’ll be home after this pour.” They did the math and said no thanks.

Here’s what they actually want: work that doesn’t require self-destruction to be taken seriously. That’s not entitlement. That’s the first generation to price this job honestly.

If leadership only appeals to 6% of your future workforce, the job isn’t the problem — the way we designed the job is.
