After Trump won the election, construction contractors reacted to the development, some with optimism and some with a strong sense of concern. On one hand, some contractors have reacted positively to Trump winning the race for the White House in anticipation of favorable regulatory environments, while on the other end, others are concerned over the possible resumption of trade wars with China which would lead to an increase in tariffs on imported goods that are vital to the construction industry.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are also concerns surrounding the labor supply as Trump has vowed to deport illegal immigrants who form a significant portion of the construction labor supply. This may cause issues in the labor supply that is already facing a shortage of skilled workers.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
