In construction a good foundation is critical for success, and this is just as important in the formation of a company as it is bringing a building out of the ground. Most companies start with a combination of opportunity, hard work and a little luck. But those ingredients can evaporate quickly if the company is not started on solid footing.

Over the last three months, much has been written about COVID-19’s impact on businesses in general and construction specifically, and rightfully so. It’s a once-in-a-century, global event that is disrupting every facet of construction, from employees, to safety protocols, to sales, to the work itself. It’s easy to try to focus only on what it takes to make it through the next day, week or month, but there has never been a better time to prepare the company for what comes next and what will sustain it for the future.
