Industry leaders came together to discuss the impacts of tariffs, supply chain disruptions and shifting market dynamics in the metal construction sector in a METALCON online webinar. Ken Simonson, chief economist at the Associated General Contractors of America (AGC), underscored the importance of understanding how governmental policies directly impact construction markets. His precise and candid insights about the current state of the economy and the specific effects of tariffs resonated strongly with the audience.
As the industry braces for potential further volatility, the messages conveyed emphasizes the need for adaptability, vigilance and collaboration. For those in the metal construction and design industry, METALCON represents a unique opportunity to connect with peers, learn from leading experts and explore innovative strategies to manage tariff-related risks. As Simonson optimistically noted, “I remain a chronic optimist…” and that optimism is the cornerstone on which future growth and resilience will be built.
