The residential construction industry doesn’t just have a labour shortage — it has a perception problem, an education gap, and a cultural challenge that’s been building for decades.
Demand for skilled trades is strong across North America, yet fewer young people are choosing construction as a career. And we’re seeing the impact on job sites everywhere.
I recently sat down with a few of my builder associates — Bernskoetter Construction, Frame Custom Homes, and Sosna Home Renovations — to talk about the real issues behind the construction labour shortage.
From outdated perceptions about the trades to the lack of skilled training pathways, we unpacked what’s really happening — and what needs to change.

Mike Holmes discusses why residential construction is struggling to attract the next generation of talent.
Is your bathroom a hidden health hazard? Proper ventilation is essential to protecting your home.
Many older homes lack vent fans entirely, allowing moisture to build up every time you shower. This trapped humidity can lead to serious issues, including:
-Mold growth behind your walls and tiles.
-Structural rot within your home's framework.
-Trapped moisture caused by fans that are blocked or incorrectly vented into attic spaces.
Don’t just mask the steam and remove it. Invest in a high-quality vent fan to pull moisture out and keep your home safe and dry.

Can asthma go away with clean indoor air? A good friend of mine believes that we can design a home with clean air quality. Over the years, the asthma will go away if they live in a clean environment all the time, almost like a bubble.
The best thing is to build an airtight home and ventilate it right!
