There’s no doubt that economic conditions change the way we all do business, and this has been especially true over the past several years. From estimating and project management practices to compensation and business management, contractors are finding a “new normal” in every aspect of their business. I hear stories from clients about how aggressive the bidding environment has become, with more and more contractors bidding for each job and many bidding at a loss.

This week, I’m pleased to welcome David DeVita, a safety expert with 20 years of experience, from Carolina Safety Consultants. As I’ve said before, the importance of safety programs goes far beyond the need to comply with standards and regulations. First and foremost, safety programs save lives. They also save financial resources. So it makes sense to understand where the greatest safety risks lie and to have programs in place to address these risk areas.

When it comes to planning out your business, top concerns are usually financing and the product itself. And while this is perfectly rational, you should spend a considerable amount of time determining where it is you want your office to be located.

A friend of mine has a habit of not paying his bills until the day they are due. He’s also known for driving to the post office right before it closes on April 15 to file his taxes. His reasoning is simple – he doesn’t want to give up his money any sooner than he has to. Over the years, I’ve worked with many construction companies who also wait as long as possible to pay their vendor and subcontractor invoices for the same basic reason.

In 2012, stimulus funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) are coming to a close. Since the construction industry was promised roughly $131 billion of those stimulus funds, I thought it’d be a good idea to check up on the effectiveness of the funding.
