Editor’s
Viewpoint By Mark Buckshon
Publisher, Florida Construction News
We’re preparing this issue of Florida Construction
News for publication just before the Christmas holidays
begin, though you’ll probably be reading these words in
the New Year. The holiday season provides a break-
time for reflection and contemplation (as well as family
and personal connections) for the year ahead, which I
believe will be truly challenging.
Will the multi-year boom that has created labor
shortages in Florida’s construction market conclude?
Will technological changes including modular construc-
tion take hold in the marketplace, shaking up traditional
relationships and processes?
I cannot say for sure, because we cannot be sure of
all of the variables that will impact our business lives in
the months ahead. But I know that it is better to be pre-
pared for change than not; and that means understand-
ing what could happen technologically, and designing
robust business systems and rules so that you aren’t
caught off guard if the market shifts quickly.
Regardless of how things turn out, I think 2019 will
be an exciting and challenging year, and I’m looking for-
ward to the months ahead.
