Some smart infrastructure projects, including smart buildings and smart homes, will improve performance and reduce environmental impacts with purpose-built controllers, sensors, and smart machines. While homeowners can install some smart home projects, many more of them, and all smart building projects, require skilled labor for installation and maintenance.

The "Great Reshuffle" in labor brought on by the coronavirus pandemic has worsened an already existing skilled labor shortage, but its origins can be traced to government policies from the 1980s, when the workforce associated with creating goods declined precipitously. Accepting the status quo-the lack of skilled workers in construction-will blunt the impact of many desirable government programs, public-private partnerships, and private efforts associated with installing smart systems. This will, in turn, jeopardize the timeframes for installing these systems and make some projects unviable, financially.

This Guidehouse Insights study identifies a range of ways to overcome this undesirable situation. It suggests that hiring organizations increase wages across the board for construction workers. Analysis shows that real wages for construction have decreased in the past decade despite increasing demand and worsening skill shortages. It recommends that construction subcontractors who make up much of this labor force, abandon conventional HR practices and focus on nurturing employee loyalty from all productive employees.
