Lawrence explained that this tool would enable effective monitoring and regulation of construction costs at local, state, and federal levels, fostering greater transparency in the industry.
“When completed, it will serve as a critical tool for enhancing transparency and accountability in the construction sector, allowing for effective monitoring and regulation of construction costs at local, state, and federal levels,” Lawrence explained.
Lawrence also expressed his gratitude to the guests, participants, and partners for their dedication to advancing the profession and the construction industry as a whole. He voiced his confidence that the workshop would foster insightful discussions, spark innovative ideas, and inspire collaborative efforts to propel the industry forward.
