Why Strong Local Building Companies Are Growing Fast

Regional construction firm growth is happening all over America. Here is what you should know:

• Good markets: Texas, Ohio, and North Carolina are adding many new jobs.
• Government money: A big law is giving billions of dollars to local projects.
• New jobs: Building data centers and car plants is creating more work.
• Smart plans: Good companies are doing different kinds of work and using new tools.
• Worker needs: Finding and keeping good workers is the hardest part.

Texas added 28,600 jobs in one year. North Carolina added 10,000. Michigan is growing because of new car plants.

But growing a local company is hard. You want to grow without losing what makes your team special.

You have built a great business. Your team knows your customers. Your name is trusted. You want to grow the right way.

The government is spending $400 billion on projects. This is a big chance for local builders. New factories and data centers are being built everywhere.

Local companies that move fast can win this work. They need to pick the best places to work and find enough workers. They also need to use new tools while staying true to their roots.

I am Don Larsen, CEO of Saga Infrastructure. I help building companies grow. I have seen how local companies can get bigger and stay great. Let me show you how they do it.

Why Local Building Companies Are Growing Now

Things are changing in how we build. It is not just luck. It is because of government money and new types of buildings.

First, the government passed a big law. It is called the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. It gives billions of dollars for roads, bridges, and water pipes. For a local company, this is great news. In Texas, this money helps build energy projects. In Florida, it helps fix old roads for all the new people moving there.

There is also a law to help build computer chip factories. These projects are huge. They need many workers. When a big factory opens in Arizona, it helps everyone. You need new roads, new houses, and new stores. This is why regional construction firm growth is so strong in the Southwest.

Companies also want to make things in America again. This means more work for builders who know how to make big factories. Whether it is a car plant or a warehouse, people need them built now.

Picking the Best Places to Grow

To grow, you must go where the work is. We look for places where people and companies are moving.

Some places are growing fast, and others are not. The West and the South are growing the most.

In Texas, growth comes from oil and energy. In Florida, towns like Minneola are growing fast. People are moving to sunny states and need new roads and buildings. Arizona is also booming. The building industry there has grown a lot!

Here is a look at some top states:

Note: These states are some of the fastest-growing places for builders.

How to Make Your Business Bigger

Growing is about being smart with your time and money. One way to grow is to talk to your customers early.

Don’t wait for a job to start. Try to talk to the customer 6 to 12 months before they start digging. This helps you help with the plan. It also helps you save the customer money and plan your schedule.

We tell business owners to always have a list of future jobs. You don’t want to finish one job and have nothing else to do.

Also, save money when you are busy. Building work goes up and down. Having extra money helps you keep your workers when things get slow.

Doing Different Kinds of Work

Don’t just do one kind of job. If you only build houses, you might have trouble if people stop buying them. Good companies do many types of work.

Here are some jobs that are growing:

• Roads and Bridges: This is the main work we do.
• Hospitals: People always need doctors. Building medical offices is steady work.
• Data Centers: These buildings hold the computers that run the internet.
• Clean Energy: Solar and wind projects are being built in many states.
• Special Jobs: Electricians and plumbers are needed for high-tech factories.

Using New Tools

New tools help us work faster and better.

• 3D Models: These let us see the building on a computer before we start. We can find mistakes early.
• Smart Computers (AI): These help with schedules and costs.
• Drones: These fly over the site to take pictures and check progress.
• Factory Building: This means building parts of a house in a factory and moving them to the site. It is faster and safer.

Finding and Keeping Workers

This is a big problem. There are not enough workers. Many older workers will retire soon. Not many young people are starting in the trades.

To grow, we must find new ways to get people to join.

• Learning on the Job: Young people can learn from a boss while they get paid.
• Better Pay: Pay in building jobs is going up. We must pay well to keep good people.
• Learning New Skills: We need to teach workers how to use new tools like drones.
• A Good Place to Work: People want to feel like they belong. We want workers to feel like family.

Common Questions About Growing

Which states have the most building jobs?

Texas is number one. Florida and Arizona are also very high. These states have many people moving in and need new buildings.

How does government money help?

The government gives money to states. The states then hire local companies to fix roads and bridges. This gives companies work for a long time.

What is the best way to keep workers?

It is not just about money. Show them how they can get promoted. Make sure they are safe at work. A safe job is a good job!
