The construction landscape of 2025 looks vastly different from years past, with labor shortages, material volatility, and regulatory changes creating a new normal for contractors. We explore what's changed, what will remain different, and how successful contractors are adapting their businesses to thrive in this environment.

• Labor shortages will continue as 40% of trades workers retire by 2031
• Material costs remain 36% higher than pre-COVID with no signs of returning to previous levels
• Volatile interest rates are causing project delays and financing challenges
• Successful contractors are buying and storing materials upfront to lock in prices
• Building relationships with inspectors is crucial as regulations increase
• Insurance coverage is becoming more confusing and expensive
• Focusing on specific niches rather than being a generalist contractor
• Forecasting your pipeline through December helps avoid desperation moves
• Creating "Kevlar" processes to protect against market volatility
• Maintaining profit margins is non-negotiable in today's environment
