Strange days , indeed . I ’ ve been in this business for 25 years and thought I had seen it all . Recessions , inflation housing booms and busts . But in all my born days would I ever think that the construction industry would be so robust that it would outrun the supply side . Can it last ? Of course not , but we must make sure that we are not out running our needs on the equipment or job site side . Typically , we ’ d be able to get our maintenance and repairs done on our schedule or at a minute ’ s notice . Also , we are typically confident of our variable costs of a job , but that ’ s been a moving target as well . www . callape . com [ 30 ] 1.800.210.5923
