Contractors navigating the different stages of growth will progressively:

1. Deliver more projects to delighted customers each year.
2. Build larger and more complex projects each year. 
3. Support the project teams with more robust supporting systems and functions each year.

With the right market strategies, people, and execution, this will also progressively deliver better returns at less risk for all aspects of the contractor scoreboard. 

This integrated approach to growth can easily produce returns that are 2-3X industry benchmarks while attracting and retaining talent even during the shortages across the industry.

This is The Business of Building.
