C
onstruction activity has recovered more quickly than most expected. And alt
hough industry stakeholders are optimistic about continued demand, there’s
a palpable level of anxiety surrounding supply shortages, inflation, and ot
her emerging risks. This presentation will share many of the underlying rea
sons why such optimism exists and the rewards they offer. However, like any
market, bulls and bears coexist. As new risks are introduced as a result,
learn what others are preparing for to best position their organizations fo
r the next cycle.Ray Catlin, RCA President
