March finds the bid market slowing in many areas, but holding its own in a few areas. Job prices continue to plummet as marginal contracting firms fight for survival. However some of our clientele reports that it’s still possible to bid a job with some profit, and actually get awarded the job. Starting that project on time is often problematic however, as Owners and Developers report that bank funding remains inordinately tight.

'My left knee hates me. We go back a long way together, and I thought we were past that little “episode”. Apparently not. My family is taking a ski trip for Spring Break. (The word “break” already having a dual meaning.) I had resisted such a trip, since a time when both knees loved me equally and I went to Colorado with two college friends. We were 25 and stupid, which may be redundant.

The new project inquiry score was 49.5, up from 43.5 in January. "Despite a higher score than last month, we are likely to see light demand for new construction projects through much of the year," said AIA Chief Economist Kermit Baker.

At a conference the other day I set myself the task of spending time with one of the speakers after a breakout session which was attended by about 40 people. At the end of the workshop, eight people lined up to talk with the speaker, and he gave each of them a minute or two of his time. Unlike the others, I spent almost twenty minutes with him, enough time to come up with a reason to follow up next week.
