More than 100 High Rise Crane Permit Requests are Pending In Miami
Building construction has not slowed down in the Miami area in 2014. Miami's skyline keeps rising in more locations and a great variety of styles. Most of the 197 towers in pre-construction in the Tri-county region are being built in Miami Dade. Construction and development are major economic indicators, and in Miami-Dade County, Florida, more than 100 high-rise crane permit requests are pending.
The critical concern is that the demand of skilled labor is greater than the supply. The Associated General Contractors of America recently surveyed general contractors around country and two-thirds expressed a sincere worry that they won't find the people they need to fill all the jobs.
"The irony is, the places that were hardest hit during the construction downturn – cities like Miami, Phoenix, Las Vegas, parts of the central valley of California," said Brian Turnmail of the AGCA, "are the exact same areas that, now that they're growing again, are having the hardest time finding skilled workers."
What's needed, he believes, to keep this economic rebound positive, is a national re-emphasizing of the value of trade and vocational schools. The nation lost 2 million construction jobs during the Great Recession, with Florida taking the biggest hit. The construction jobs dried up back in 2008 and 2009, and many of those workers moved into the energy sector, with a lot of the older ones retiring early. Many of those jobs have returned and skilled labor is in great demand opening a door of opportunity for those who were looking for a job.
Even so, the sense in Miami among developers is that, with plenty of construction jobs already underway and with plenty of new projects in the pipeline, this will be the best year in a long time. As long as enough skilled labor is available. All these luxury condominium projects keep breaking in new ways the Miami skyline as Miami continues its push to become an even greater metropolitan city.
