Show Notes

Peggy Smedley and Paul Brussow, president, RLB North America, talk about the forces reshaping construction and the built environment, diving into a new report looking at cost, risks, and markets. He says we saw a federal rate cut in December 2025, and while we didn't see the surge of groundbreakers we hoped, developers are cautiously optimistic.

They also discuss:

· If construction companies are repositioning for a different kind of economy.

· Investment in training and the challenge of the retiring workforce.

· Adjustments that are needed in certain sectors moving forward.
