Howe reports, “There are hundreds of con- tractors, from a two person company to ones our size. A lot of people got into construction after Hurricane Ivan when it became a booming industry.We do things differently than most.We spend time with our clients up front, assisting with the design process, pricing, scheduling, talking about logistics, procurement and getting long-lead items on their way.
