In construction, there can be too many good things
Contractors in the U.S. are enjoying opportunities in abundance. A resurgent construction economy has shored up backlogs and all but eliminated unemployment. Conventions are full, trade partners are busy and, by all accounts, we should be jumping for joy.
I’m particularly excited about the opportunities this market presents, but I’m also concerned about the risk of abundance. A colleague and friend of mine, Tom Schleifer, reduced what we do to three simple concepts: sell the work, do the work and get paid for it, but 2 out of 3 isn’t a winning formula.
