Fall 2013 Issue of Horizons

CONSTRUCTION

Jobs continue to be aggressively bid by some companies with little to no regard for margins. This certainly will not improve if companies that make their livelihood in government construction start looking towards the already crowded private sector.

Unfortunately, this is occurring at a time when overcapacity remains an issue within the construction industry. Although construction spending has picked up, activity is still far from peak levels and competition for work remains fierce.
