The Meaning of #PowerToTheTrades  

We discussed his thoughts about the many meanings of the word power in regards to the construction industry and specifically to Craft Workers and Trade Contractors.  

What does “Power to the Trades” mean to him? Or said “I will say that for me the word power relates to the word empower, meaning that, for years the trades, as you know kind of are the underdog of the industry working the hardest, holding the lot of the risk not always receiving the respect they should. I feel that now it’s the time to give them the tools, the confidence, the respect to be strong and profitable, you know to showcase themselves to have a good reputation advantage and a way to to just be strong within the industry.” 

How has technology has powered the operations of Contractors you have worked with?
