AUGUST 2025CONSTRUCTIONBUSINESSREVIEW.COM6The construction industry is undergoing a profound transformation, driven by shifting consumer expectations and environmental considerations. In this edition of Construction Business Review, we explore how businesses are challenging convention and setting new benchmarks across every layer of the build. One clear sign of this evolution is the growing adoption of integrated design-build models. By replacing fragmented handoffs with a unified process, this approach streamlines timelines, reduces costs and gives clients a single accountable team. Projects move faster, respond better to change and stay aligned with vision and budget. Garage flooring, which was once considered a utilitarian surface is now a performance zone. Epoxy and polyaspartic coatings are engineered to resist chemicals, abrasion and heavy loads while offering quick installation and minimal upkeep. As homeowners expect more from every square foot, flooring solutions are evolving to meet higher durability, aesthetics and functionality standards. Metal roofing is also gaining renewed interest for its durability. With extreme weather on the rise, property owners are turning to materials that offer better protection, longer life cycles and lower operating costs. Metal roofs with reflective finishes help reduce energy use and interlocking panels provide superior defense against wind, rain and fire. Crawl space encapsulation, once an afterthought, has gained momentum as a critical component of indoor air quality and structural health. Unsealed crawl spaces harbor moisture, mold and pests--all of which can compromise insulation and degrade home environments. Today's systems go beyond vapor barriers, using sealed liners, dehumidifiers, drainage and insulation upgrades tailored to the space. The result is a dry, controlled environment that improves energy efficiency and extends the life of HVAC and foundation systems. Together, these changes signal a new era in construction, defined by better performance and solutions built to last.
