Bridging the Skills Gap: Key Insights from a Survey of 252 Construction Graduates

Closing the skills gap

<h2>AEC Industry Challenges</h2>The AEC industry faces several major challenges that affect its efficiency, productivity, and overall success. Here’s a look at some key issues:&nbsp;<h2>Labor Shortages</h2>The U.S. AEC industry is grappling with significant labor shortages, with demand outstripping supply. Factors contributing to this shortage include an aging workforce, the cyclical nature of construction, and difficulties in attracting younger generations who prefer less physically demanding, tech-focused careers.This lack of skilled labor affects all levels, from field workers to specialized professionals like engineers and project managers. It can lead to project delays, increased labor costs, and compromises in work quality. As construction demand grows, especially in developing regions and sectors like infrastructure and green building, this gap widens.Efforts to address labor shortages include investing in training and apprenticeship programs, improving working conditions and wages, and leveraging technology to streamline processes and reduce physical burdens. There is also a push for diversity and inclusion initiatives to attract more women and underrepresented groups to the AEC field.&nbsp;<h2>Skills Gap</h2>The skills gap is another significant challenge.

Your wood flooring budget

<h2>Which Wood Flooring fits better your budget?</h2>Nowadays, we have 3 types of parquets.<h3>NATURAL OR SOLID HARDWOOD FLOORING</h3>Solid wood flooring is usually made of solid planks milled from a single piece of timber and underlaid with 8mm thick plywood.Solid wood is generally thicker than engineered wood.One of its downfalls is that it is unable to bear temperature fluctuations, thus a dilatation joint should be foreseen.<figure class="image image-style-align-right"><img src="https://d2doisxcuz2yo7.cloudfront.net/eyJidWNrZXQiOiJtYWFtYXJneSIsImtleSI6ImUzODFjMmZhNzU1ZmIyMTYucG5nIiwiZWRpdHMiOnsid2VicCI6dHJ1ZSwianBlZyI6dHJ1ZSwic2hhcnBlbiI6dHJ1ZX19" srcset="https://d2doisxcuz2yo7.cloudfront.net/eyJidWNrZXQiOiJtYWFtYXJneSIsImtleSI6ImUzODFjMmZhNzU1ZmIyMTYucG5nIiwiZWRpdHMiOnsid2VicCI6dHJ1ZSwianBlZyI6dHJ1ZSwic2hhcnBlbiI6dHJ1ZSwicmVzaXplIjp7IndpZHRoIjo1MDB9fX0= 500w, https://d2doisxcuz2yo7.cloudfront.net/eyJidWNrZXQiOiJtYWFtYXJneSIsImtleSI6ImUzODFjMmZhNzU1ZmIyMTYucG5nIiwiZWRpdHMiOnsid2VicCI6dHJ1ZSwianBlZyI6dHJ1ZSwic2hhcnBlbiI6dHJ1ZSwicmVzaXplIjp7IndpZHRoIjoxMDAwfX19 1000w, https://d2doisxcuz2yo7.cloudfront.net/eyJidWNrZXQiOiJtYWFtYXJneSIsImtleSI6ImUzODFjMmZhNzU1ZmIyMTYucG5nIiwiZWRpdHMiOnsid2VicCI6dHJ1ZSwianBlZyI6dHJ1ZSwic2hhcnBlbiI6dHJ1ZSwicmVzaXplIjp7IndpZHRoIjoxMDUyfX19 1052w" sizes="100vw" width="1052"><figcaption>Solid wood structure</figcaption></figure>Although the installation of solid wood in homes has a seamlessly flow from one room to the next, some downfalls are to be noted :It is quite noisy,(sound of your shoes hitting the floor as you walk)It squeaks as it becomes older and loosens up.Hardwood warps in damp and humid weather, thus replacing your floors every few years will incur a huge expense.With high traffic areas, scratches, scuffs, or gouges are formed, thus it may need refinishing.Usually refinishing is done by a dyer, creating dust and fumes.Solid hardwood flooring is expensive to install.

These helmets typically attach more closely to the head with built-in chin straps and have little to no brim around the edge. Their overall profile on the head is smaller.Safety helmets have more safety elements, which is why they are preferred by athletes in dangerous sports and rescue workers in hazardous situations. Inside the helmet, there is protective padding and chin straps that keep the helmet securely on the head.<h3>&nbsp;</h3><h3>When Does OSHA Require Hard Hats?</h3>OSHA regulations mandate specific requirements for head protection in the workplace. As with many OSHA standards, these rules incorporate standards from the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). OSHA provides the regulations to follow, and ANSI provides the means to follow those regulations.One standard that governs hard hat requirements for construction is “29 CFR 1926.100 ” refers to <a href="https://www.osha.gov/pls/oshaweb/owadisp.show_document?p_table=STANDARDS&amp;p_id=10663">head protection requirements for construction, demolition, and renovation workers</a>This standard requires workers to wear hard hats when there is a potential for head injury from “impacts, falling or flying objects, or electrical shock.”<figure class="image image-style-align-left"><img src="https://www.graphicproducts.com/media/images/osha-ansi-hard-hat-requirements-float1.jpg" alt="OSHA and ANSI Hard Hat Requirements"></figure>This means that employers must provide hard hats and ensure that employees wear protective coverings in the following situations:<ul><li>When objects or debris might fall from above and strike workers on the head</li><li>When employees may strike their heads against fixed objects, like supports, beams, or other equipment</li><li>When there is the possibility that workers’ heads will make contact with electrical hazards</li></ul>In all cases, hard hats must meet OSHA head protection requirements.<h3>Protection provided by safety Helmets&nbsp;</h3>Safety helmets do not protect only against falling objects, but some offer an increased protection from impacts to the side and back of the head.Type II helmets and hard hats are designed to minimize lateral impacts to the head, either from off-center, from the side or to the top of the head. For example, a blow to the head resulting from the sharp end of a side beam or I-beam.In addition, chinstraps can provide increased safety during falls, trips and slips by keeping helmets or hard hats in place.&nbsp;<h3>Colors code&nbsp;</h3><ul><li>The most common color scheme is white for managers, architects, engineers, foremen, or supervisors.</li><li>Brown fiberglass hard hats are worn by welders and other workers for high heat applications.</li><li>Yellow is the color for general laborers and earth-moving operators.</li><li>Blue hard hat: Carpenters and other technical operators including electricians.</li><li>Orange is worn by road crews.</li><li>Green often signifies a safety inspector but can also be used by new workers on the site or probationary staff.</li></ul><h3>&nbsp;</h3><h3>Type and Class : What Are the Different ANSI Hard Hat Categories?</h3>All head protection is assigned a "Type"&nbsp;and a "Class."&nbsp;The type refers to the level of protection from an impact, while the class refers to the different levels of protection from electricity.<ul><li>ANSI Type I Helmets are designed to reduce force as a result of impact to the top of the head</li><li>ANSI Type II Helmets are designed to reduce force as a result of impact to the sides or top of the head</li></ul>The three classes of head protection include:<figure class="image image-style-align-right"><img src="https://d2doisxcuz2yo7.cloudfront.net/eyJidWNrZXQiOiJtYWFtYXJneSIsImtleSI6IjhkMjM3Y2YxYmNkYTkyOWQuanBnIiwiZWRpdHMiOnsid2VicCI6dHJ1ZSwianBlZyI6dHJ1ZSwic2hhcnBlbiI6dHJ1ZX19" srcset="https://d2doisxcuz2yo7.cloudfront.net/eyJidWNrZXQiOiJtYWFtYXJneSIsImtleSI6IjhkMjM3Y2YxYmNkYTkyOWQuanBnIiwiZWRpdHMiOnsid2VicCI6dHJ1ZSwianBlZyI6dHJ1ZSwic2hhcnBlbiI6dHJ1ZSwicmVzaXplIjp7IndpZHRoIjo1MDB9fX0= 500w, https://d2doisxcuz2yo7.cloudfront.net/eyJidWNrZXQiOiJtYWFtYXJneSIsImtleSI6IjhkMjM3Y2YxYmNkYTkyOWQuanBnIiwiZWRpdHMiOnsid2VicCI6dHJ1ZSwianBlZyI6dHJ1ZSwic2hhcnBlbiI6dHJ1ZSwicmVzaXplIjp7IndpZHRoIjoxMDAwfX19 1000w, https://d2doisxcuz2yo7.cloudfront.net/eyJidWNrZXQiOiJtYWFtYXJneSIsImtleSI6IjhkMjM3Y2YxYmNkYTkyOWQuanBnIiwiZWRpdHMiOnsid2VicCI6dHJ1ZSwianBlZyI6dHJ1ZSwic2hhcnBlbiI6dHJ1ZSwicmVzaXplIjp7IndpZHRoIjoxMDUyfX19 1052w" sizes="100vw" width="1052"></figure><ul><li>Class E (electrical) provides protection to withstand 20,000 volts</li><li>Class G (general) provides protection to withstand 2,200 volts</li><li>Class C (conductive) does not provide protection from electricity</li></ul>A Type 1, Class C hard hat would be the standard worn by a construction worker not exposed to electrical hazards; a standard safety helmet would be categorized as Class C.&nbsp;<figure class="image image-style-align-left"><img src="https://d2doisxcuz2yo7.cloudfront.net/eyJidWNrZXQiOiJtYWFtYXJneSIsImtleSI6ImZiNTMzN2YzNjU2ZjlmMjguanBnIiwiZWRpdHMiOnsid2VicCI6dHJ1ZSwianBlZyI6dHJ1ZSwic2hhcnBlbiI6dHJ1ZX19" srcset="https://d2doisxcuz2yo7.cloudfront.net/eyJidWNrZXQiOiJtYWFtYXJneSIsImtleSI6ImZiNTMzN2YzNjU2ZjlmMjguanBnIiwiZWRpdHMiOnsid2VicCI6dHJ1ZSwianBlZyI6dHJ1ZSwic2hhcnBlbiI6dHJ1ZSwicmVzaXplIjp7IndpZHRoIjo1MDB9fX0= 500w, https://d2doisxcuz2yo7.cloudfront.net/eyJidWNrZXQiOiJtYWFtYXJneSIsImtleSI6ImZiNTMzN2YzNjU2ZjlmMjguanBnIiwiZWRpdHMiOnsid2VicCI6dHJ1ZSwianBlZyI6dHJ1ZSwic2hhcnBlbiI6dHJ1ZSwicmVzaXplIjp7IndpZHRoIjoxMDAwfX19 1000w, https://d2doisxcuz2yo7.cloudfront.net/eyJidWNrZXQiOiJtYWFtYXJneSIsImtleSI6ImZiNTMzN2YzNjU2ZjlmMjguanBnIiwiZWRpdHMiOnsid2VicCI6dHJ1ZSwianBlZyI6dHJ1ZSwic2hhcnBlbiI6dHJ1ZSwicmVzaXplIjp7IndpZHRoIjoxMDUyfX19 1052w" sizes="100vw" width="1052"></figure>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On the vast majority of the construction site, the danger is real so wearing hard hats are necessary.Expand your knowledge and keep yourself updated with the latest trends and practices in the construction industry by joining our our monthly newsletter below.<a href="https://me3margi.com/e-groups">Subscribe </a>to our <a href="https://me3margi.com/e-groups">e-group</a> and <a href="https://me3margi.com/e-groups">Connect</a> with key experts in the industry and upgrade your professional network while enjoying a host of exclusive benefits.

The orientation determines which walls or windows receive light during the day.&nbsp;It is important that bedrooms and most stayed in the area receive a big amount of sun rays&nbsp;<h3>Location and access (references)</h3>Be sure that the apartment’s bays, terraces offer broad views over the city, the sea, or the mountains<figure class="image image-style-align-right"><img src="https://d2doisxcuz2yo7.cloudfront.net/eyJidWNrZXQiOiJtYWFtYXJneSIsImtleSI6IjQwODQwNWExNTY5MTllYmIiLCJlZGl0cyI6eyJ3ZWJwIjp0cnVlLCJqcGVnIjp0cnVlLCJzaGFycGVuIjp0cnVlfX0=" srcset="https://d2doisxcuz2yo7.cloudfront.net/eyJidWNrZXQiOiJtYWFtYXJneSIsImtleSI6IjQwODQwNWExNTY5MTllYmIiLCJlZGl0cyI6eyJ3ZWJwIjp0cnVlLCJqcGVnIjp0cnVlLCJzaGFycGVuIjp0cnVlLCJyZXNpemUiOnsid2lkdGgiOjUwMH19fQ== 500w, https://d2doisxcuz2yo7.cloudfront.net/eyJidWNrZXQiOiJtYWFtYXJneSIsImtleSI6IjQwODQwNWExNTY5MTllYmIiLCJlZGl0cyI6eyJ3ZWJwIjp0cnVlLCJqcGVnIjp0cnVlLCJzaGFycGVuIjp0cnVlLCJyZXNpemUiOnsid2lkdGgiOjEwMDB9fX0= 1000w, https://d2doisxcuz2yo7.cloudfront.net/eyJidWNrZXQiOiJtYWFtYXJneSIsImtleSI6IjQwODQwNWExNTY5MTllYmIiLCJlZGl0cyI6eyJ3ZWJwIjp0cnVlLCJqcGVnIjp0cnVlLCJzaGFycGVuIjp0cnVlLCJyZXNpemUiOnsid2lkdGgiOjEwNTJ9fX0= 1052w" sizes="100vw" width="1052"></figure>Accessing&nbsp;road which allows&nbsp;traffic to&nbsp;reach the location, possibility of traffic jam, easiness of reference pointsNeighborhood and possibilities of future constructions that will block view, light, and aeration.&nbsp;<h3>&nbsp;</h3><h3>&nbsp;</h3><h3>&nbsp;</h3><h3>&nbsp;</h3><h3>&nbsp;</h3><h3>&nbsp;</h3><h3>&nbsp;</h3><h3>Layout and functions</h3><figure class="image image-style-align-left"><img src="https://d2doisxcuz2yo7.cloudfront.net/eyJidWNrZXQiOiJtYWFtYXJneSIsImtleSI6IjJlMDBhYTA0ZjYyZmQ3ZGYiLCJlZGl0cyI6eyJ3ZWJwIjp0cnVlLCJqcGVnIjp0cnVlLCJzaGFycGVuIjp0cnVlfX0="></figure>A good layout is a layout where each space has its own privacy and interacts independently.Day and night zoneDay zone: zone where you spend your time during the day (sitting room, dining room, kitchen, home office…)Night zone: Zone where you spend your time during the night (bedrooms)&nbsp;Zones are linked together with horizontal circulation such as corridors, lobby, and SAS&nbsp;The more the day zone is separated from the night zone, the more comfortable is the use of the space.&nbsp;<h3>Lighting</h3>Natural light is too important. It is intrinsically linked to our mood, boosting the serotonin levels that regulate our emotions, sleep, and even memory.&nbsp;Refer to orientation and location (sections 1 and 2)A building oriented for solar design takes advantage of passive and active solar strategies. Passive solar strategies use energy from the sun to heat and illuminate buildings.<figure class="image image-style-align-left"><img src="https://d2doisxcuz2yo7.cloudfront.net/eyJidWNrZXQiOiJtYWFtYXJneSIsImtleSI6IjdmNzI5MTY3M2NkYTdhM2UiLCJlZGl0cyI6eyJ3ZWJwIjp0cnVlLCJqcGVnIjp0cnVlLCJzaGFycGVuIjp0cnVlfX0=" srcset="https://d2doisxcuz2yo7.cloudfront.net/eyJidWNrZXQiOiJtYWFtYXJneSIsImtleSI6IjdmNzI5MTY3M2NkYTdhM2UiLCJlZGl0cyI6eyJ3ZWJwIjp0cnVlLCJqcGVnIjp0cnVlLCJzaGFycGVuIjp0cnVlLCJyZXNpemUiOnsid2lkdGgiOjUwMH19fQ== 500w, https://d2doisxcuz2yo7.cloudfront.net/eyJidWNrZXQiOiJtYWFtYXJneSIsImtleSI6IjdmNzI5MTY3M2NkYTdhM2UiLCJlZGl0cyI6eyJ3ZWJwIjp0cnVlLCJqcGVnIjp0cnVlLCJzaGFycGVuIjp0cnVlLCJyZXNpemUiOnsid2lkdGgiOjEwMDB9fX0= 1000w, https://d2doisxcuz2yo7.cloudfront.net/eyJidWNrZXQiOiJtYWFtYXJneSIsImtleSI6IjdmNzI5MTY3M2NkYTdhM2UiLCJlZGl0cyI6eyJ3ZWJwIjp0cnVlLCJqcGVnIjp0cnVlLCJzaGFycGVuIjp0cnVlLCJyZXNpemUiOnsid2lkdGgiOjEwNTJ9fX0= 1052w" sizes="100vw" width="1052"></figure>In passive solar building design, windows, walls, and floors are made to collect, store, and distribute solar energy in the form of heat in the winter and reject solar heat in the summer.Choosing glazed elements for walls, doors, ceilings, and floors will allow you to achieve continuity of light between rooms.&nbsp;<h3>Neighborhood</h3>The height of neighboring buildings and trees can cause shading, but this can be resolved by keeping surrounding planting at a low level and opting for pale exterior surfaces to give the illusion of brightness.&nbsp;<h3>Operational spaces (kitchen, dining room, WC)</h3>Refer to section 3Architects usually arrange spaces to facilitate their operation. Space studies aim to exploit to the maximum the availability of every square meter and reduce what we call dead/wasted spaces.&nbsp;<h3>Dead spaces(wasted space)</h3>Dead space is unused space, dysfunctional, unable, or barely to be furnished&nbsp;And here come the terms Ergonomics (designed for efficiency and comfort in the working environment) and space efficiency.This is why, for the same surface, a layout could be felt either comfortable or spacious, either cramped and tight-fitting.&nbsp;<h3>&nbsp;</h3>&nbsp;&nbsp;<h3>&nbsp;</h3><h3>&nbsp;</h3><h3><a href="/courses/finishes-insight-express-track-01">Finishes</a></h3>The last not least field, trade to pass through is finishes.Most people are trapped with the finishes issues. They look for them firstly and neglect the quality of the space itself.Nonetheless, this does not exclude finishes from their role in enhancing space quality, but we are here treating the corrective and non-corrective components that forge any space.Please note that finishes come at the end. Each discrepancy could be easily corrected later on after the move or prior to any space occupation.The most rational assessment of a space finish is to check the quality-price ratio.You can’t expect luxury while paying a small amount.
