]]> Comment on Consultant Update: Contractors Handling Economy by aheydorn http://www.forconstructionpros.com/interactive/2009/10/16/consultant-update-contractors-handling-economy/#comment-33726 aheydorn Tue, 20 Oct 2009 18:06:53 +0000 http://www.forconstructionpros.com/interactive/2009/10/16/consultant-update-contractors-handling-economy/#comment-33726 I hope you are right and I am hearing some of that already. Anecdotal reports from a number of contractors in various regions indicate that many of the contractors who are the low-ball competitors are closing up shop. In those cases it doesn't necessarily mean they are fly by nights -- it might just mean they don't understand their costs so don't know how to bid accurately. But too many of these guys are still around. Just yesterday I heard of a sealcoating contractor spraying sealer with the temperature at 42 degrees... anyone in the business knows what's going to happen to that sealcoat -- and it's sure not good for this industry. Here's hoping THAT company is out of business soon. I hope you are right and I am hearing some of that already.

]]> Comment on Pavement consultants affected by economy by aheydorn http://www.forconstructionpros.com/interactive/2009/04/24/pavement-consultants-affected-by-economy/#comment-33636 aheydorn Thu, 15 Oct 2009 14:41:43 +0000 http://www.forconstructionpros.com/interactive/2009/04/24/pavement-consultants-affected-by-economy/#comment-33636 It has been a tough year but we're hearing some interesting and unusual things happening out there. In a post in late spring or early summer I mentioned how contractors were bidding an unusually large number of commercial projects -- but that few of the bids were getting awarded. Seems that might be changing, at least in some markets. Contractors are still battling lousy weather but many have conveyed that they have plenty of work on the books to get through by the end of the season. My initial thought was that those bids are getting let, and hopefully that's the case. To see if that was affecting materials manufacturers I made a few random calls and got positive news: sales are at the least equaling last year and in a number of cases are up over last year at this time. In fact, one materials producer reports his trucks are "really flying out the door" with sales up 38% over last year at this time. Here's hoping for a nice long end to the season -- and a two-week Indian Summer after that. It has been a tough year but we’re hearing some interesting and unusual things happening out there.
