With Green Power Surge, Short Supply Of Electricians May Hamper Real Estate Projects

Johnson said he is now making good money, nearly what he did as a writer, and a good portion of his work involves helping to “shut off the gas valve.” He really enjoys the challenge of rewiring a home for electrification, racing to install new cables and conduit pipes to get a home running in the same day.  He is also swamped with work.  “I've stumbled into it at a time when there's a tremendous demand for electricians,” Johnson said. “There was a lack of actual certified electricians.

Next Stop, Apartments: 2-Story 3D-Printed House Lays Foundation For Bigger Projects Ahead   Making construction cheaper, safer and more efficient sounds like a bold promise, but advocates of 3D printing say the technology is up to the challenge. Now, one ongoing project in Houston could help apply that construction method to bigger projects, including multifamily buildings, sooner rather than later.CIVE, a Houston-based design-build firm, is constructing America’s first fully 3D-printed two-story house along with Hannah, a New York-based architecture firm, and Germany’s Peri 3D Construction. Those involved say the project is a significant stepping stone to constructing bigger projects like apartment developments more quickly and with fewer supply chain-related snags — a major…
