2022 Year in Review: Randy Catlin, Windover Construction
Executive Vice President & COO
Windover Construction
What emerging trends will drive investment and development in 2023?

Using technology and other tools to drive decision-making early in the planning phases will also keep construction moving forward through this uncertainty around the economy.
