The Blueprints
Join local construction industry professionals as we lay out the blueprints of legal frameworks and construction regulations, with a focus on navigating today’s shifting landscape. The construction industry’s typical volatility is now layered with uncertainty in the wake of the Trump administration’s promises to impose tariffs as well as reform immigration. This timely discussion will help you proactively manage the evolving regulatory, financial, and operational challenges for your 2025 projects and beyond.

The Framework

  • Risk Management Strategies: Leveraging different types of surety bonds to protect your projects and mitigate financial exposure.
  • Cost Control in a Shifting Market: Managing rising construction costs in the wake of tariffs and other economic factors. From contract considerations to alternative resources, know your options.
  • Technology & Innovation: Staying best-in-class with AI and emerging construction technologies.
  • Workforce Solutions: Addressing labor shortages and meeting the workforce demands of your construction projects.
