MAY 2025CONSTRUCTIONBUSINESSREVIEW.COM6The construction industry stands at a pivotal juncture--where innovation, workforce dynamics and sustainable design are redefining how buildings are conceptualized, built and optimized for long-term performance. As global demand for housing and commercial spaces surges, construction companies are embracing digital technologies, high-performance materials and integrated project delivery models to build smarter, faster and more responsibly. This transformation is visible across multiple specialties. In cold storage construction, builders are turning to modular structures, advanced vapor barriers and intelligent climate control systems to meet the growing needs of pharmaceutical, food and industrial logistics, while drastically reducing energy consumption. In vinyl replacement windows, manufacturers are prioritizing energy-efficient design through innovations like multi-chambered frames, low-emissivity glass coatings and UV-resistant composite materials. These enhancements not only improve insulation but extend product life and lower heating and cooling costs for end-users.In fast-developing regions like Central Texas, commercial flooring contractors are raising the bar with high-performance, sustainable surfaces for healthcare, education and retail spaces. Solutions now feature durable, low-emission materials, moisture mitigation systems and antimicrobial finishes--installed using advanced techniques that maximize speed, safety and long-term value. Companies combining deep regional insight with precision execution are emerging as preferred partners.This edition of Construction Business Review highlights how the convergence of material innovation, energy-conscious design and workforce modernization is redefining outcomes throughout the built environment. Featured thought leaders include Desmond Shotwell, national director of renovations at AMLI Residential, who emphasizes continuous improvement, strategic planning and collaboration to drive efficiencies in multifamily housing renovations. Dexter Wong, Investment Manager, Military Housing at The Michaels Organization, highlights the need for policy innovation and cross-sector collaboration to expand housing for California's middle-income workforce and strengthen the rental market.The magazine also spotlights leading companies like SET Central Texas, a turnkey subcontractor for commercial flooring, tile, stone and countertops.
