I hear from people who argue that I’m being too negative about the future, that real construction market recovery is just around the corner.

In construction, we can’t solve a global pandemic, but we can protect our contracting companies by keeping overhead flexible in case business declines.

Because construction projects are highly complex, collaborative, interdependent and long-lasting team efforts, the exact final cost is impossible to estimate.

Until now, what it means to be “organized for success” has eluded many contractors. 

There was a conflict between a building contractor and an owner we’d like to tell you about, but not because we want to explain who was right or wrong.

You can’t compete with the labor shortage. It has too much control over your progress. 

Every time a contractor signs a new contract, it is as if that company was opening for its first day in business.
