Business View Magazine: Speaking of subcontractors, do you have any suppliers, vendors, or partners you’d like to highlight?

Another company we work closely with is Creative Building Finishes, primarily due to their flexible payment terms, which fit well with our construction cycles. Tank-Weld Metals is also a fantastic partner that we work with consistently, and they’ve been very good to us. They’re Jamaica’s biggest importer of steel and lumber.
