Recognizing the economy was turning toward the end of 2008, Mid Eastern Builders of Chesapeake, Va., bid aggressively and secured contracts for a diverse mix of long-term projects that have helped the firm thrive in 2009, with revenues of $190 million up from $158.9 million in 2008.
“We cover a wide range of project types and have the Noah’s Ark of construction portfolios,” says Mark F. Olmstead, vice president of Mid Eastern Builders. “[That diversity] has been great for us the last couple of years.”
