How can the construction industry effectively navigate the introduction of global tariffs on all goods imported into the United States? Linesight’s Vice President of Supply Chain Management, Derek McNamara, explains: “Developers can take pre-emptive action to help offset some of these risks through strategic actions. Critical moves include diversifying suppliers, investing in domestic manufacturing partnerships, reevaluating budgets and timelines, and pre-purchasing long-lead equipment where possible.” To support our clients through this period of uncertainty, Linesight has prepared a detailed paper that explores the potential impacts and provides expert guidance on how best to mitigate risk in construction projects.
