Supporting Interior Construction as the Workforce Evolves

Stay ahead of the curve with offsite prefabrication

Consider this: by 2030, an estimated 40% of the conventional construction workforce in the U.S. will be retired. This generation of skilled workers built the spaces in which we live, learn, heal, and work, laying the foundation for the future of our industry. As they begin to transition out of the workforce, we’re entering a new chapter in construction.

At Falkbuilt, we see this shift, not as a challenge, but as an opportunity to evolve how we build interiors — supporting the next generation of builders while honoring the experience of those who came before. Enter Falkbuilt’s Digital Component Construction - designed to meet today’s changing needs with speed, precision, and efficiency.

Conventional Construction: An Industry Built by Skilled Hands

For decades, the construction industry has relied on the knowledge, craftsmanship, and the dedication of skilled tradespeople. We have deep respect for the people who built this industry with their hands, and we recognize their role in shaping the spaces we all depend on. As many of these professionals near retirement, it’s vital we carry their legacy forward by building smarter and more sustainably.

According to industry research, for every five skilled construction workers retiring, only two are entering the industry to replace them. With the average age of construction workers now over 42, and 22% aged 55 or older, the skilled labor shortage is real, and accelerating. These numbers highlight a growing gap, and the need for an innovative approach that reduces the strain on today’s workforce.

Falkbuilt: Helping Bridge the Construction Gap

Digital Component Construction doesn’t replace skilled trades — it supports them. By shifting much of the interior construction process offsite, we reduce the strain on overburdened teams and help projects move forward, even with fewer people on site.

Here’s how Falkbuilt is helping the construction industry thrive through this transition:

  • Smaller Crews, Same High Standards Because our components are fabricated offsite, installation requires fewer people and less time.

  • Faster Turnarounds We streamline installation, so projects move faster, allowing builders to do more with the teams they have and easing the impact of workforce changes.

  • Supporting Safer, Cleaner Job Sites Digital Component Construction is clean, quiet, and dust-free, creating a safer, cleaner, more efficient job site.

  • Tech That Empowers Project Teams With our cloud-based technology platform, Echo, project teams have better visibility and coordination at every step, from manufacturing all the way to installation, supporting smarter decisions and smoother workflows.

Building on a Strong Foundation

Digital Component Construction is designed to help crews do more with less. It’s about working smarter, not harder, while still delivering quality that lasts. The future of construction is changing. Falkbuilt is ready to build it — one smart interior at a time.
