NAICS 23812 - Structural Steel and Precast Concrete Contractors
This industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in: (1) erecting and assembling structural parts made from steel or precast concrete (e.g., steel beams, structural steel components, and similar products of precast concrete); and/or (2) assembling and installing other steel construction products (e.g., steel rods, bars, rebar, mesh, and cages) to reinforce poured-in-place concrete. The work performed may include new work, additions, alterations, maintenance, and repairs.
Industry trends:
The structural steel and precast concrete contracting industry, categorized under NAICS 23812, is witnessing several significant trends that shape its current landscape and future outlook. One of the dominant qualitative trends is the increasing integration of Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology. Contractors are leveraging BIM to optimize project planning, enhance precision in prefabrication, and improve collaboration across different project stakeholders. This trend is expected to grow as more firms recognize the cost and efficiency benefits of digital transformation.
Sustainability is another crucial trend. There is a rising demand for environmentally friendly construction practices, prompting contractors to adopt green building materials and sustainable design principles. The emphasis on reducing carbon footprints and complying with evolving green building standards is likely to intensify, driven by both regulatory pressures and consumer preferences.
Workforce challenges, including labor shortages and skills gaps, continue to impact the industry. Companies are prioritizing workforce development initiatives, including training programs and partnerships with educational institutions, to address these issues. This trend is expected to persist as the industry seeks to cultivate a skilled labor pool to meet future demand.
Forecasts indicate robust growth for the structural steel and precast concrete sector, spurred by increased infrastructure spending and urbanization. Government investment in large-scale infrastructure projects, particularly in transportation and public utilities, will likely provide substantial opportunities for contractors. Additionally, advancements in material science, such as the development of high-strength, lightweight steel, are anticipated to drive innovation and efficiency in construction processes.
