Robert sees positive trends in all construction sectors. “There are a lot of investments being made to the transportation network within the greater Jacksonville area, and with the increase in housing and multifamily sectors, there is also a boom in commercial projects that are keeping up with that growth,” she says.

“We’re also seeing a lot of development across the area as a whole, from big projects downtown to the continued growth of the counties around Jacksonville,” Robert adds.
