“Social change. Statistics say buildings consume 39% of U.S. energy. Do buildings consume energy or do people? The industry is ready to design the next LEED-Platinum building. It is ready to construct the first net-zero-energy building in Utah. The industry has the skills and the knowledge and wants to be the leader in changing our built environment. Until we change as a consumer society, responsible design and construction will not occur at the pace it needs to. States, counties, campuses and communities need to be the catalyst for change. This responsibility lies not with our neighbor, but in our own backyard. Social change is the biggest challenge facing our industry.”

What is the biggest challenge your industry faces in its future?

“A challenge I see facing our industry is a reduced intuitive understanding of structural sizes and responses due to an increased reliance and trust in computer analysis. It is so ‘easy’ to run multiple analysis by changing a variety of variables that one fails to learn which variable(s) truly control the structural response.”

What is the biggest challenge your industry faces in its future?

“I am convinced the greatest challenge we face now and will into the future is building projects that are more in harmony with the world in which we live. The era of big projects, without balance with our social and environmental needs, is over, and we need to find ways to meet the demands of current and coming generations without compromising quality of life.”

“I think technology is moving faster than our craft employees can adapt. It seems every year we get more advanced equipment that enables people to ‘drive’ the equipment rather than operate it. Our craft is losing the old-school touch and trusting equipment to build the work. There’s a fine line between tried-and-true methods of construction and new technology; we will always need both as a sanity check.”
