With the <strong>skilled labor shortage<\/strong> reaching a record high and tariffs driving up material costs, contractors are under tremendous pressure to complete projects more quickly, more cheaply, and more effectively.

The most recent round of tariffs imposed by the Trump administration has caused prices to skyrocket for necessities like steel, copper, and aluminum, which are the foundation of any commercial or infrastructure project.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is more difficult than ever to lock down budgets because suppliers are modifying prices in response to global uncertainty, even if a project is entirely domestic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But what&#8217;s the real kicker? It\u2019s work.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The industry now requires at least 546,000 additional workers to meet current demand, and a startling 91% of contractors are having difficulty finding qualified candidates, even if it is about operators of <\/span><b>used construction machinery<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is a delivery crisis now, not just a labor issue. In actuality, investors and developers are now more focused on deadlines than on expenses. In the construction industry, schedule certainty has formally emerged as the new currency.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Learn_some_basics_about_advanced_work_packages\"><\/span><strong>Learn some basics about advanced work packages<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fundamentally, AWP is an organized approach to project delivery that synchronizes engineering, procurement, and construction into a unified, prearranged schedule. It divides big projects into smaller, more manageable &#8220;work packages&#8221; so that everyone on the job site, from supervisors to planners, is aware of what is expected of them and what is needed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It goes beyond simply having better documentation. The <strong>Construction Industry Institute (CII)<\/strong> states that AWP may lead to:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A 25% rise in worker productivity<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">10% lower overall installed cost<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">80% of projects based on AWP are completed on time or earlier<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you are competing with budget cuts and growing costs, that&#8217;s a big deal.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_isnt_everyone_doing_it_yet\"><\/span><strong>Why, isn&#8217;t everyone doing it yet?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even though AWP is obviously effective, you can&#8217;t implement it right away. The absence of role-specific training is the largest obstacle to adoption, a 2024 peer-reviewed study found. Companies have been hindered by the lack of specialized guidance that engineers, supervisors, and planners frequently require in order to use AWP efficiently.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, things are shifting quickly. This can be the new normal in coming days and people won\u2019t be hesitant to implement AWP at the work sites.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_academy_is_taking_lead_to_provide_training_on_AWP\"><\/span><strong>Which academy is taking lead to provide training on AWP?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Concord Construction Academy has introduced a fully online certification program to assist businesses in making the switch to AWP more swiftly. It doesn&#8217;t take months to finish, and it was created with actual job roles in mind.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Among the salient features are:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Specialized training programs for planners, engineers, and supervisors<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Real-world case studies, downloadable resources, and quizzes in on-demand modules<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Enterprise teams can participate in live Q&amp;A sessions and group learning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Options for expedited training in cases where projects are already behind schedule<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Up to 35% more productivity, less rework, and even better cash flow are already being experienced by early adopters of the program, particularly in high-stakes contracts like Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) jobs where every delay costs money.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_construction_industry_can_only_rise_by_upskilling_hiring_is_not_enough\"><\/span><strong>The construction industry can only rise by upskilling; hiring is not enough<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although hiring more staff might seem like the obvious answer, Olfa Hamdi, CEO of Concord, states that <em><strong>&#8220;hiring alone won&#8217;t fix today&#8217;s challenges.&#8221;<\/strong><\/em> Upskilling current teams to handle greater complexity, better planning, and faster execution are the best courses of action for businesses at this time, as the talent pool is already overstretched.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With labor shortages and steel prices that can fluctuate overnight, AWP is rapidly establishing itself as more than just a management fad. It is turning into a strategic imperative.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Two_Cents\"><\/span><strong>Two Cents<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite the odds, it is evident that contractors who invest in AWP and workforce upskilling will remain profitable and competitive as 2025 progresses.
