Like many construction firms across the country, contractors in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul have contended with their share of challenges in the past year, including labor and building material shortages. Despite this, the Minnesota metro area added nearly 16,000 new residential units in 2021, the highest total since 2005.

On top of all that, the Twin Cities permitted more than $2B in construction projects last year.
