Iningi losonkontileka baseMelika balindele ukuthi isidingo sokwakhiwa kwehle ngo-2021, yize umqedazwe we-Covid-19 udala ukuthi amaphrojekthi amaningi abambezeleke noma akhanselwe, ngokusho kwemiphumela yocwaningo ekhishwe yi-Associated General Contractors of America kanye neSage Construction and Real Estate.
Iphesenti labaphendulile abalindele ukuthi ingxenye yemakethe ibe nenkontileka idlula iphesenti abalindele ukuthi inwetshwe - eyaziwa ngokuthi ingqikithi yokufunda - ezigabeni ezingu-13 kwezingu-16 zamaphrojekthi afakwe kuhlolovo.Osonkontileka abanathemba kakhulu ngemakethe yokwakhiwa kwezitolo, enenani eliphelele elingama-64%.Bakhathazeke ngendlela efanayo ngezimakethe zendawo yokulala kanye nokwakhiwa kwamahhovisi azimele, kokubili anenani eliphelele lama-58%.
“Lona ngokusobala kuzoba unyaka onzima embonini yezokwakha,” kusho uStephen E. Sandherr, isikhulu esiphezulu sale nhlangano."Isidingo sibukeka sizoqhubeka nokuncipha, amaphrojekthi abambezeleka noma akhanselwe, umkhiqizo uyancipha, futhi ambalwa amafemu ahlela ukwandisa inani lawo."
Ngaphansi kwama-60% amafemu abika ukuthi anemiklamo okuhlelelwe ukuthi iqale ngo-2020 ahlehliselwe u-2021 kanti u-44% ubika ukuthi amaphrojekthi akhanseliwe ngo-2020 angakahlehliswa kabusha.Lolu cwaningo luphinde lwaveza ukuthi amafemu angu-18% abika ukuthi amaphrojekthi obekufanele aqale phakathi kukaJanuwari noJuni 2021 abambezelekile kanti u-8% wamaphrojekthi wokubika obehlelelwe ukuqala ngaleso sikhathi ukhanseliwe.
Ambalwa amafemu alindele ukuthi imboni izobuyela emazingeni angaphambi kobhubhane maduze.Ingxenye eyodwa kuphela kwezintathu yezinkampani ezibika ukuthi ibhizinisi selivele lifana noma leqe amazinga onyaka odlule, kanti u-12% ulindele isidingo sokubuyela emazingeni angaphambi kobhubhane phakathi nezinyanga eziyisithupha ezizayo.Bangaphezu kuka-50% ababika ukuthi abalindele ukuthi inani lezinkampani zabo zebhizinisi libuyele emazingeni angaphambi kobhubhane isikhathi esingaphezu kwezinyanga eziyisithupha noma abaqiniseki ukuthi amabhizinisi abo azolulama nini.
Izinkampani ezingaphezu kwengxenye eyodwa kwezintathu zibika ukuthi zihlela ukwengeza abasebenzi kulo nyaka, u-24% uhlela ukwehlisa inani labasebenzi bese u-41% ulindele ukuthi azikho izinguquko kusayizi wabasebenzi.Naphezu kokulindelwe okuphansi kokuqashwa, iningi losonkontileka libika ukuthi kusenzima ukugcwalisa izikhundla, njengoba u-54% ubika ubunzima bokuthola abasebenzi abaqeqeshiwe abazoqasha, noma ukwandisa inani labantu noma ukuvala abasebenzi abasukayo.
“Iqiniso elidabukisayo ukuthi bambalwa kakhulu abasanda kuqashwa abacabangela imisebenzi yokwakha, naphezu kweholo eliphezulu kanye namathuba abalulekile okuthuthuka,” kusho uKen Simonson, isazi sezomnotho esikhulu sale nhlangano."Lolu bhubhane futhi lubukela phansi ukukhiqiza njengoba osonkontileka benza izinguquko ezinkulu kubasebenzi bephrojekthi ukuvikela abasebenzi nemiphakathi kuleli gciwane."
USimonson uphawule ukuthi u-64% wosonkontileka babika izinqubo zabo ezintsha ze-coronavirus okusho ukuthi amaphrojekthi athatha isikhathi eside ukuqeda kunalokho obekulindelwe ekuqaleni kanti u-54% uthe izindleko zokuqeda amaphrojekthi ziphezulu kunalokho obekulindelwe.
I-Outlook yayisekelwe emiphumeleni yocwaningo evela kumafemu angaphezu kuka-1,300.Osonkontileka babo bonke osayizi baphendule imibuzo engaphezu kuka-20 mayelana nokuqashwa kwabo, abasebenzi, ibhizinisi kanye nezinhlelo zobuchwepheshe bolwazi.
