In construction, perspective matters. Looking at a project from every angle helps uncover better solutions, anticipate challenges, and turn ideas into successful spaces.
At Catcord Construction, a different point of view can make all the difference.

Sweet Spot Dispensary- a previously completed project by CATCORD CONSTRUCTION. From construction and finishes to the final details, our team helped bring this unique retail space to life.
We’re proud of the work we’ve done for Sweet Spot and the opportunity to help create a space designed to welcome its community.

Looking Ahead: Building for the Next Generation

The construction industry is changing—and so is the next generation entering it.

Today’s workforce brings new expectations around technology, flexibility, collaboration, and career growth. Construction companies must adapt by embracing innovation, investing in people, and creating opportunities for the next generation to learn and lead.

At Catcord Construction, we believe the future of construction depends on combining experience with new ideas. By evolving with the industry while staying grounded in quality and craftsmanship, we can continue building not only great projects, but a stronger future for construction.

The next generation is ready. The industry needs to be ready, too.

Looking Ahead: The Data Center Boom
Higher borrowing costs and rising material prices continue to challenge construction. But one sector is creating strong momentum: data center construction.
Driven by AI, cloud computing, and digital infrastructure, data centers are among the fastest-growing areas of construction. Contractors with data center work report an average backlog of 11.4 months, compared with 7.5 months for those without it.
Data centers are becoming a major driver of construction demand—and an important part of the industry’s future.
At Catcord Construction, we believe staying adaptable, managing costs, and delivering efficiently are key to navigating an evolving market and building for what’s next.

Building in a Changing Market: Navigating Tariffs & Rising Costs:
Tariffs are creating another layer of uncertainty for the construction industry, putting pressure on material costs, project budgets, and schedules.
Steel, aluminum, and copper have been particularly affected. As of 2026, tariffs on certain imported metal products have reached as high as 50%, contributing to significant increases in material prices. According to the Associated General Contractors of America, prices for aluminum mill shapes were up more than 50% year-over-year in June, while steel mill products increased nearly 17%.
For contractors and owners, the impact goes beyond the price of individual materials. Higher costs can affect bids, subcontractor pricing, equipment, mechanical and electrical systems, and ultimately the overall project budget. Tariff uncertainty can also make it more difficult to accurately forecast costs on projects that may not begin for several months.
At Catcord Construction, careful planning, early procurement, and close communication with owners, architects, and subcontractors are more important than ever. In a changing market, understanding material pricing and identifying potential cost impacts early can help keep projects on budget and moving forward.
In today's construction environment, building smart means planning ahead.
Build smarter. Build value. Build with Catcord.
