  • Through Teamwork, Construction Company Thrives During Industry Slump

    Bush Construction Company, Inc., has made huge strides since the firm was founded in 2008, going from zero to $18 million in revenue in its first full year of business. According to A.J. Loss, President of Bush Construction, the company has been awarded more than $60 million in projects to date. What makes the company’s growth so exceptional is the fact that it took place during a nationwide recession with an accompanying construction industry slump. The company has succeeded in its ...

  • Don't Ignore ECB Violations

    Many construction projects within the City of New York will encounter violations for environmental control board (ECB) violations at one time or another. Many of the violations are minor but some can shut your project down. The key is not to ignore them. Ignoring the violations will not make them go away: it will lead to more severe penalties. There are generally three levels of violations. There are class 3 (least severe), class 2 (moderate) and class 1(most severe). Ignoring ...

  • County PRMD Fees

    In this fragile economy, Counties continue to espouse a "total cost recovery" model to be used to charge planning, permit, and inspection fees. In a dwindling market, with a slow acting County staff, layoffs are not keeping up with the reduced volume of permitting activity so Counties continue to pile on the fees. This will result in "mom and pop" operations avoiding pulling permits altogether. Bigger operations and projects will simply incorporate the additional cost into the "price of ...

  • A/E/C Economic Recovery

    For the last three months construction spending, a key economic indicator, has been plummeting. Construction spending hit a twelve-year low in February as that sector of the economy continued to weaken. Foreclosures and short sales are the main culprit, as they stifle new home construction, the traditional driver for the entire industry . I found this here:http://personalmoneystore.com/moneyblog/2011/04/01/construction-sector-recovery

  • The mechanics of enforcing your mechanic's lien

    You've completed your contract and you weren't paid so you properly and timely filed a mechanic's lien against the owner's property. You naturally ask yourself "now what?" A common misconception among some in the construction industry is that the mechanic's lien, in and of itself, gets you paid. While it may give you leverage in negotiating a payment, it most certainly does not get you paid without taking the next step. That next step is known as enforcing, or foreclosing on, your ...

  • To lien or not to lien: that is the question

    Well, at least it would have been if Shakespeare was a contractor. But modern day contractors would probably agree that it is one of the most difficult questions they have to answer. Filing a mechanic's lien is often a necessary evil. If you have done work and have not been paid, filing a mechanic's lien may be the only way to protect and preserve your ability to get paid. Mechanic's liens though do not always lead to smooth sailing; in fact, they rarely do. There are negative aspects ...
