Procore Technologies, Inc.

The suicide rate for men in construction is five times greater than the rate for all fatal work-related injuries in the construction industry.

Construction safety culture has come a long way since the “Lunch Atop a Skyscraper” photo was taken nearly a century ago, including the introduction of required, basic PPE like hard hats and harnesses. But there are still many areas we must improve in order to drive a safer industry.

How to Overcome Workforce Challenges in 2024

Understand the key strategies to overcome workforce challenges in the construction industry in 2024.

The workforce challenges of 2024 can be conquered by empowering your current team, fostering growth, and embracing people who are unfamiliar with our industry.

Construction Industry's Water Problem

This pressing situation raises crucial questions about the future of water consumption and the potential for the construction sector to pivot toward more sustainable practices.

The construction industry will have to make major changes in everything from concrete production to daily water usage and treatment if it wants to move from being a water-intensive industry to more water-efficient.

How Builders Can Improve Site Safety

While 80% of large contractors offer programs for substance use or mental health, only 29% of small companies offer these programs, and 52% of contractors wish they had more resources for managing mental health.
