Más allá de la obra: cómo contribuir a la industria de la construcción
Los constructores conocen su trabajo y comprenden los mejores métodos de construcción y los plazos, pero a muchos les resulta difícil descubrir cómo hacer el cambio en la industria. Como autoridad en la industria, ¿hay alguna manera de difundir sus conocimientos? Aquí encontrará una introducción a las formas en que puede capacitar a la próxima generación e incluso impulsar un cambio inmediato en la industria.
Position Yourself in the Driver’s Seat
The annual International Builders’ Show (IBS) showcases the biggest and brightest of the construction industry. In addition to the immense exhibit space, the conference focuses on education, roundtable discussions and seminars.
The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) is a resource for your peers and the younger generation to seek educational opportunities and hone their skills. Attending meetings—either on the national or local level—can offer an opportunity to provide valuable input and technical guidance on practical matters.
The annual NAHB Student Competition lets students apply lessons learned in the classroom to a real construction company. Proposals are judged by construction company executives. During the show, you can watch these students defend their proposals and judge for yourself the degree of practical knowledge of this group. Get involved by hosting a competition at your local college; bringing in area builders; or working with local ASHRAE, ASTM or AIA groups.
Navigating the Future of Construction
“Smart builders ask good questions so they are able to identify the bigger trends affecting our industry,” said Casey Smyth, Brand Manager for LP Structural Solutions.

Smyth identifies that the industry is changing in multiple ways. For example, the post-COVID world has shifted the features and amenities homeowners want in their homes. Additionally, the greater number of billion-dollar disasters shows the need for greater resiliency. In response, builders can work directly in their own communities with the local Habitat for Humanity chapter or help rebuild homes following a devastating storm.
Smyth also stresses education for helping to spread your knowledge. Many builders have found success marketing their businesses with an educational slant, helping people understand the reasons behind certain functional and design choices. The same is true for helping to train younger teams in a better approach to building.
Speaking of education, the industry can likely use your deep technical knowledge. Whether it's working with trade schools or nearby community colleges, practical real-world advice is always valued.
