Mortenson is issuing our Q1 2024 Construction Cost Index Report: Costs in Milwaukee increased 1.3% in the most recent quarter and increased 2.3% over the last twelve months. The overall outlook for non-residential construction in Milwaukee is cautiously optimistic, with inflation delaying interest rate reductions, continued workforce challenges, and national supply chain impacts contributing to longer lead times and higher costs for construction materials.

Diversity and equity have always been at the heart of our business, so we are thrilled to partner with the U.S. Department of Commerce and other AEC industry leaders Baker Construction, Gilbane Building Company, Mortenson, Shawmut Design and Construction, and Suffolk Construction, as a few of the first companies to join the Million Women in Construction Community Pledge. We are dealing with a severe labor shortage in the construction industry, yet women account for less than 11% of construction workers. This means we are missing opportunities to attract, train and retain diverse talent who can close this critical labor gap. In order to change that, we will need an industry-wide commitment to solutions to overcome barriers to entry for women.  Click the link down in the comments to learn more about this industry-wide initiative. #AEC #construction #diversity #equity #womeninconstruction

As #generalcontractors and #constructionmanagers, Powers & Sons Construction continuously explores #sustainable materials, energy efficient systems, and best practices for #greenbuilding. Last year, the Indianapolis Public Library's West Perry Branch, which we built in 2022, was named the 2023 Indiana Green Building of the Year. In honor of #EarthDay2024 on April 22, here are some little things we can all do in our daily lives to help protect the planet from plastics, the official earthday.org theme. TIP 1: Choose apparel wisely and keep it as long as possible. Avoid the "fast fashion" trap and brands that mass produce low-cost, low-quality clothes that are quickly discarded. Buy the best quality clothes and shoes you can afford. Quality materials and fabrics are durable, last longer through repeated washing, and many never go out of style. TIP 2: Challenge yourself to avoid purchasing products that come encased in a lot of plastic packaging and start taking small steps to avoid all the single-use plastic in your life, from coffee pods to bags, bottles, straws and lids, and containers. TIP 3: Participate in a community clean-up! Find an event or organization and volunteer some time to remove trash along roads and riverways. Look for Earth Day 2024 clean-up activities in your area. #planetvsplastics #earthday #endplastics
