Mr. Peter Pappas

Leaders in the development and construction industry discuss the impact of unprecedented market and economics conditions on the cost and complexity of developing new housing and strategies they are using to manage this complex environment. Questions addressed include the following: • What is happening in the labor markets, and what are builders doing to ensure access to skilled workers and to control costs? • Are tariffs increasing the cost of construction right now? Are they changing sourcing practices? • Has the slowdown in housing construction changed the developer/construction company dynamics? What about the general contractor/subcontractor dynamics? • Are the complexities of this environment pushing developers to grapple with new technology, or is that one more unknown to manage? • What can developers and builders do to push the feasibility needle in 2026?
