87 BUSINESS VIEW CARIBBEAN VOLUME 9, ISSUE 8 GH CONSTRUCT ION CO. LTD . (GHC) do at least one housing development per year from this point onward. Simply because they don’t want to be relegated to the competitive tender process. Of course, they still want to be in the game, but not rely on it as a main revenue stream. In fact, the company is doing a good amount of design/build work at the moment. Having just finished a beautiful chattel house in St. James called The Dream, they have another house in Gibbs, St. Peter targeted for completion in October, and yet another custom built house on the beach. Hopkin emphasizes, “These are just clients who have come to us because they’ve heard good things, and we will do design/build projects for them. These are preferable, not necessarily because of the margin but because we can control design, we can cost engineer more efficiently, and everyone’s happy in the end. And we have a more personal, one-on-one relationship with the client, as well.”
