Spring 2012 issue of Horizons

Questions To Ponder Although the recovery for the construction industry is moving along much slower than any of us would like, we should continue to plan for the time when this cycle finally arrives. Will we have enough cash to support a rapidly expanding backlog? Have we established lines of credit and are they sufficient? Do we have adequate bonding capacity? After downsizing our workforce and cutting overhead expenditures, when and how quickly should we expand? These are all critical questions that should be addressed with your accountant, banker, surety agent, and attorney to ensure that your company is in the best possible position to capitalize when economic conditions become more favorable.
