Before you grab your champagne flutes and push play on Auld Lang Syne as you toast to another New Year, it may be time to take action on your next commercial project.

Believe us when we tell you, the backlog for construction projects in South Florida is REAL.

Now more than ever before it’s important to begin planning ahead for your 2022 initiatives. Here are just a few of the many reasons why:

• Planning takes time – Prior to construction there is plenty of work to be done. Getting rolling with the preconstruction process will ensure that your project is set up for success, your timeline and budget are established, and the appropriate permits are pulled.
• There’s a severe shortage of skilled labor and materials – Some sub-contractors and skilled laborers are booking out 12-18 months in advance. You need to get in line now.
• Development is on the rise – With on-hold projects coming back to life and new projects in the pipeline, there is competition for everything. This means discussing the possibility of potential delays and material alternatives while in the planning phase.
