Founding member John Fugo of Montgomery Development and Member Andrew Phillips of CT Wilson Construction both expressed concern about a shrinking construction workforce. John reported that the construction industry is losing labor force due to uncertainty about shifting immigration opinion, which affects long-term budgeting and the ability to hold numbers. Andrew commented there is a shortage of tradesman as well as a shortage of managers and estimators, disabling some companies’ abilities to estimate or budget. He added the Day Without Immigrants boycott on February 16 affected his masonry and drywall crews.
