CONSTRUCTION
As expert strategic planning facilitators and consultants, we have worked with leading regional construction firms including both general contractors, and companies who serve as sub-contractors.
Construction White Paper
Strategic planning is critical for construction companies, given the severe cycles that plague the industry. While the construction cycle can differ from the economic cycle, construction companies must be adept at expanding during booms and retracting during busts.
Construction companies must develop a business plan that carves out a very specific value proposition and manages tight margins with efficiency. Becoming proficient in project management, managing labor spend and optimizing capacity have become critical success factors for construction companies.
Builders and commercial clients have become extremely demanding and price-conscious. Pricing power can shift dramatically, putting significant pressure on profitability. Such movement in the industry has promoted consolidation as companies try to accelerate absorption of overhead.
