Construction Industry Expected to Go Into Slump
2008-01-18 01:52:00 According to recent reports, the sub-prime mortgage lending mess is expected to produce a 25% drop in new home construction this year. New building permits are already on the down slide. This is going to put a whole lot of construction workers out of a job. The experts say that so many un-employed, may tip the country into a recession. What the experts fail to recognize is that the New Home Construction Industry labor is over 80% Illegal Immigrants. If they lose their jobs, they will simply go home until the building picks up again. I don?t see it having that great of an impact on our economy. Yes?Contractors will be hurt, and may have to look for work, but their employees?not so. The problem is going to be with the Illegals that have brought their families here and don?t want to, or cannot afford to go home. And what are we going to do??? Give them welfare and food stamps, or let them starve. You know we won?t let them starve. I can tell you this?as the economy starts to hurt, and...

The Construction Industry Today: Why many construction companies are willin
2007-11-20 10:27:00 The current market conditions in the real estate market are not good for those in the construction industry. These days, fewer and fewer people are hiring contractors and home builders for a number of reasons. The main reason leading to this decrease in demand of construction is because of rising interest costs that don’t seem to be slowing down any time in the near future. Also, many people are hesitant to sell their home and construct a new one today because of the length it is taking for homes to sell these days. After a brief real estate boom over the past couple of years when construction companies had many jobs and homes were being rapidly bought and sold, the industry is slowing down and this is leading to decreased revenue and profits for construction companies. Therefore, now might be a good time to get some construction work done if you do not have to sell a home and are not considered about the rising interest rates. Companies are desperate for business and are willing ...

Government forum set to focus on ways of reducing construction industry dea
2007-07-26 12:37:00 Employers, trade unions and business groups must find new ways to cut deaths in the construction industry, the government announced today. Peter Hain, the work and pensions secretary, will ask businesses and key industry figures to join a forum this September, to focus on ways to improve health and safety in the house-building and refurbishment sectors. The news comes after the government passed the Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Bill this week, which determines that companies, not individual directors, will be responsible for deaths of employees at work due to company negligence. Last year, construction deaths leapt by more than 25%, with 78 people dying in the sector. Hain said: "Any rise in fatalities is not only shocking, it is completely unacceptable. It is vital that everyone involved in the construction industry puts health and safety first - everyone from clients to employers, designers to suppliers, large construction firms right down to the...
