Chris Moore of CarolinaPower Offers Specialty Contractor Perspective on 2022

What are your thoughts on the economy related to construction in the Carolinas in 2022?

From the perspective of a specialty contractor focused on electrical construction, right now opportunities are still abundant across all markets and all geographies. However, I am concerned about commodity pricing fluctuations and ongoing supply chain issues – particularly their impact on construction schedules. Toss in that we must continue to deal with COVID from both a regulatory and staffing standpoint… and the potential for negative impact on our business significantly increases. And, of course, the pre-existing workforce availability situation remains a major concern. All of this said, I am cautiously optimistic about 2022 despite the unpredictable nature of the world in which we operate.
