Building Under Pressure: Shortages in Skilled Trades and Rising Construction Costs
In this research, we examine skilled-labour shortages in the residential construction sector, the overlapping pressures intensifying these shortages, and the resulting cost inflation.
How much have job vacancies in this sector grown over the last 10 years, and how much do we expect them to grow over the next 20 years? What pressures are compounding these labour shortages? What cost savings in residential renovations and repairs could we see by 2045 if these shortages were to be corrected?
