The spreading of population demands many new homes and for that many construction sites are building up for completing this projects. The general contractor executive director Mr. John guides the labor about the upcoming challenges and new duties in the meeting of general constructions. How ever, he also pointed out the construction issue with economic crisis and rising prices. Thanks for sharing it.

The amount of spending predicted here can cause inflation. I am worried about the prices rising out of proportion due to this increased spending. The oil price is also fluctuating. If the oil price hike is experienced with cost push inflation due to increased spending, the economy could simply burst. Sorry for sounding so gloomy.

Well, I read all the information about this meeting and also watched this video. This General Contractors Executive Director John MacKinnon addressed with the labor and tell him about the work. In my point of view the General Contractors should takes such kinds of meeting after the short periods because it's the best way to know about the workers.
