While some regions struggled with the impact of high interest rates and economic uncertnties, others saw opportunities for growth as demand for energy-efficient buildings surged due to heightened environmental awareness and the push towards sustnable construction practices.

These regions have capitalized on the need for infrastructure development, housing, and commercial facilities, despite challenges posed by rising costs and labor shortages.
