What if your team was focused on putting projects together rather than saying there are no projects? What if your team had a network of relationships so you knew about projects long before anyone else? What if you had these capabilities going into the last downturn? What if you build these capabilities while the market is hot then dominate during the next downturn? --------------------------- Schedule a call with us to learn more about how we help contractors build effective business development and preconstruction capabilities: https://dbmgt.co/contact
