The State of the AEC Industry in 2025 with Mark Oakeson

The State of the AEC Industry in 2025 with Mark Oakeson

How’s the AEC industry currently doing with lots of Government funding…but high interest rates, inflation, and (even worse) tariffs? 🤔 That’s exactly what we cover in this episode!

For this one, we sat down with Mark Oakeson to unpack the key insights from the annual Utah Business’s AEC roundtable he’s part of — where AEC leaders came together to discuss the biggest challenges, trends, and opportunities (and hopes) shaping the industry today.

From the lack of skilled workers problem we need to solve (and how) to how publicly and privately funded projects are doing in the current economic climate, this episode covers it all. 😉

So, if you want to stay ahead of industry shifts and understand where the AEC is struggling and where it’s headed, this episode is for you. 👍
