Did you know that 3 out of 4 construction businesses (77%) say they are happy with how quickly they finish a job, and a majority (53%) are happy with how quickly they get paid for their work?
This makes us question if the status quo should continue to be the norm and when will change be adopted. Each year trillions of company dollars are chasing problems and non construction related issues which all can be avoided if not mitigated by accepting change. This DYK will unwrap where buildings Kryptonite lies and where to find the solutions or this much needed industrywide “change.”
