The construction industry is at a crossroads.  It is truly the best of times and the worst of times.  Although we are gravitating more collaborative project delivery methods and many exciting technological advances and new construction methods, we struggle with issues such as workforce development, diversity and inclusion, lack of innovation, safety issues, and high stress and burnout.  We have created a very tough industry.
