Poor Communication Is Expensive

09/30/2026

Communication

Imagine a construction company where the left hand always knows what the right hand is doing. Imagine a construction company where everyone is pulling on the same oar. There are no secrets or competition. Imagine a construction company where everyone feels they have an equal share in the company’s success. Imagine a construction company where everyone wants the same thing and where everybody wins.

Build Better Communication

The Company is Ready - Let's Go To Work

Now that we have organized our thinking, set our goals, communicated them to our entire organization, attached proper incentives, and opened lines of effective communication, we are ready to go to work. It’s time to get a job. Let’s get out the Dodge Report, find work available in our marketplace, and have our estimators prepare a bid. So, which job should we bid? That’s the $64,000 question. The correct answer will be the foundation of profitable operations perhaps for years to come. If we pick a job that doesn’t fit our company’s profit profile, we may be working for nothing and not realize it till all the invoices are in.
