A property with open space in Queensbury is being cleared for the construction of a virtual sports facility.
David Brindle of Luxury Box LLC, developer of the project, said the facility will include seven separate buildings located on Route 9 across from the Fun Spot.
Brindle said the zoning approval came through at the end of January and they are now just waiting for final approval on building permits.
Brindle expects the project to be completed by mid-March if all goes well.
The seven buildings will have virtual golf. It will also give customers options for baseball, darts, soccer, hockey, hunting and more. The golf simulators also offer much more than the traditional program, said Brindle.
“The technology with these games is so advanced. We have golf simulators in the area but this goes way beyond what we have seen, with a putting simulator and the ability to play many courses,” he said.

Estimating Costs For Construction Projects Is A Difficult Task During COVID

Posted onFebruary 18, 2021February 19, 2021

By Christine Graf
Economists and industry experts predict that the construction industry will continue to be plagued by rising material costs, material shortages and supply chain disruptions throughout 2021.
Thomas Albrecht Sr., owner of Hilltop Construction in Glens Falls, said his residential and commercial construction company, like so many others, has faced issues with material shortages.
“Expectations of delivery are non-existent,” he said. “My biggest challenge is educating our clients that you can have contracts and you can set dates, but we can’t necessary meet them because of the challenges we are faced with. What you could get in 4 weeks max could now be out 8 to 12 weeks. That means our planning has to be much more extensive.”
Hilltop Construction has 30 employees, many of whom have had to quarantine due to COVID exposure. As a result, the company has to absorb additional labor costs.
“The fallout continues as we see employees being exposed and having to quarantine,” he said. “We, by law, have to pay them up to five days. That’s a revolving door that continues and the financial burden continues.”
“The price increases are pretty drastic,” said Sara Turoczy, manager of business development at MLB Construction Services in Malta. “Along with lumber, we are seeing steel pricing skyrocket.”

Construction Group Says Employment Numbers Rose In January, And 2018 Overall

Posted onFebruary 14, 2019February 15, 2019

Construction employment increased by 52,000 jobs in January and by 338,000 jobs, or 4.7 percent, over the past year, while the latest reading on construction spending showed moderate increases in all major categories, according to an analysis of new government data by the Associated General Contractors of America. (AGC).
Association officials urged government officials to strengthen career and technical education programs and facilitate immigration for workers with construction skills before a worker shortage stalls completion of needed infrastructure.
“There has been no letup in demand for construction projects—or workers,” said Ken Simonson, the association’s chief economist. “Even though the industry added employees at more than double the pace of the overall economy in the past year, the average workweek in construction reached an all-time high and unemployment in construction hit a series low, indicating that contractors would hire even more workers if they were available.”
