A continued construction boom in South Florida and Miami-Dade County has put a heightened demand on skilled construction workers that has only increased over the past eight months.

To account for higher ratio of demand to supply, firms have begun increasing offered wages to attract skilled workers, said Brad Meltzer, the southeast president for Plaza Construction.

For Florida construction, there have been several hundred thousand jobs, and weve started to see more activity in that sector, said Sean Snaith, director of the University of Central Floridas Institute for Economic Competitiveness at the 2014 Certified Commercial Investment Member (CCIM) Commercial Real Estate Outlook Conference this year.

With the current work, the skilled labor workforce is definitely becoming a situation that all of the general contractors and subcontractors are keeping an eye on as a valid concern, said Mr. Meltzer. The projects that tend to feel the brunt of the demand are mostly likely smaller ones, from which some of the larger projects in town are pulling away workers.

There has been competition to attract the skilled labor force and to try to lure them to different companies and job sites, Mr. Meltzer said.

For large projects like the Brickell City Centre, there was the expectation that the drain on the workforce would create an absence of workers. Thankfully, the City Centre project hasnt created as much of a void as some had expected, Mr. Meltzer said.

More technical trades like mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire protection the MEPS are typically in short supply. Those are traditionally the more complicated, and the trades that typically require the most education and training, Mr. Meltzer said. Others trades like painting, stuccos and masonry, which are still very critical trades to the industry but dont require as much training and education, may be easier to find, he said.

Plaza Construction has long looked on a national level to attract top talent in subcontracting, and its possible that in response to the local drain on the skilled workforce others will do the same, Mr. Meltzer said.

Both with general contractors and subcontractors, theres only so many skilled, qualified, experienced people in our industry, and while we are attracting talent from out of town its hard to find, he said.
