Construction isn't a good bell-weather because it's so micromanaged by regulation. If they're doing tip up around you it's because the rules disadvantage steel buildings.

Building anything these days is like responding to a government contract RFP, it's an exercise in cost cutting to get around whatever industries, companies, etc. got the crap that makes them money written into the rules.

Don't look into it. You'll want to armor a bulldozer. Igornance is bliss
