Challenges Reported by Paver Installers

In January 2021, both ICPI and non-member contractors were asked what were the greatest challenges they faced in 2020.

In 2020, of the challenges reported, the most significant change was product availability which increased by 24%.

However recruiting/hiring quality employees is by far the most significant issue. This continues to guide ICPI and the effort of the Workforce Development Advisory Committee to increase the number of skilled installers.

The Contractor Industry Survey survey is conducted yearly to identify trends and changes within the industry. Interlocking concrete pavement contractors who complete the 2021 survey receive a free copy of the final report. Survey participants can compare their practices and situations with those of their peers detailed in the final report.

Look for an email invitation to participate in the 2021 Contractor Industry Survey the week of January 3, 2022. Results of the survey are used by ICPI to help guide programs and initiatives. Contribute to the industry and complete the survey when your invitation arrives.
