“ Growth means that we can continue to invest in these processes . It means that we can continue to show folks that are just coming into this industry to come to work for us , that there will be an opportunity .
“ There is a career path that will not be stymied by running into someone who you can ’ t pass due to attrition . We ’ re growing , we expect workers to learn . The more you learn , the more likely we are to be able to offer you that opportunity that ’ s been generated by our growth . So , growth is super important .
“ If , through the use of all of our processes , we continue to drive down what it costs us to do the work versus the market value of doing that work , even when times get tough and we lower our prices , our costs will already be in line with those lower prices ,” he adds .
“ For now , we ’ re benefiting with higher margins , because we continue to pursue work at a market rate , not at a cost-plus rate . However , when we get into that really tough world of the overall market shrinking , we should be able to maintain or even continue to grow our revenue in that tough economy , simply because we , during the good times , didn ’ t get complacent with our success . We continued to take the products of our success and invested in continuous improvement . When times get tough , we can perform at a lower cost basis than our competitors .” Paul-Hus concludes : “ That ’ s really our goal , to continue to take what the market gives us . Right now , there are more opportunities than we could ever react to .
“ But when those opportunities become limited , we will be in an excellent position , with a very well skilled workforce , and with processes that have driven down our cost so that we can remain competitive without losing money even through those tough times .” www . constructionglobal . com 101
