Lisa A Post Company Case Study

Andres Construction Services is a family-owned construction company which employs about one hundred employees. The company focuses on negotiated work on multi-family apartments, retirement communities, adaptive re-use complexes, private schools and universities, office buildings, and churches. During Mr. Whittle’s lecture, he focused on a handful of projects Andres Construction has worked on in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. These buildings include the SO.7 Shops and Lofts, The

Weekly subcontractors meetings are another way construction projects are and managed. This weekly forum allows the individual trades the opportunity to discuss concerns regarding the project. One area that encounters many problems is the electrical portion of the project. Many times lights are required to be in a specific location that also requires a large metal air conditioning duct to run in the same location. At these meetings, superintendents along with the project engineer attempt

Beyond the limitations of the actual plan, another shortcoming of pursuing this opportunity on Revere Street are the serious implications associated with Alexander’s “do-it-yourself” approach. By not outsourcing responsibilities to experts, he may be avoiding the explicit employment costs, but he is likely to pay more for doing the job himself later. For example, hiring a general contractor would ensure that the building is constructed to code, would be more efficient because the GC would know how to best handle subcontractors and manage the overall project, both of which would help expedite the process

To bring this project to fruition and realize the gains projected, the following processes need to occur without incident: Alexander’s bid must be accepted by the seller, which requires that he obtain an appropriate mortgage, and avoid forfeiting his deposit, which could be something to the tune of $17,500 or more. For the closing sale of the property to go smoothly, there mustn’t be any lien issues from the existing bank withholding loan proceeds to the architect, since the construction was not finished. After this, the construction needs to be essentially error free and at an expedited pace to be complete by the four month timeframe set- and this is without a professional general contractor. Additionally, the job must not exceed the $165,000 figure that was given by a non-independent contractor, who very likely may have given a low-ball estimate to seem like an attractive candidate. The last architect was off by $115,0001, indicating that the scope of the work necessary to complete the job may be deceptive and much greater than anticipated, however there is no reserve beyond budgeted amount, making this possibly the hardest mission to accomplish. If, however, the project is completed within the four allotted months, and without going over budget, the next phase is filling vacancies, which Alexander is also planning to have accomplished by the end of the fourth month. This means that during the construction process, Alexander must also

industry is large enough for many sellers. CMI’s foray into this industry is new, however; in order to develop clientele, CMI should cultivate several segments (namely, the large engineering contractors, consulting engineers, and independent contractors), in addition to a media blitz

The original renovation had a budget of 5 million dollars, which included classrooms, a computer lab, student lounge, lavatories, and staff offices. The renovation is suitable for the current status of Construction Science; however the growing program will soon outgrow the building. For these reasons, I am writing a follow up memo of the topics to be included in my upcoming researched recommendation report.

The O.M Scott & Sons Company has had continued success in the grass seed and lawn care industry. The company started in 1868 as a local company in central Ohio, focused on selling grass seed only. The company saw great opportunity in the lawn care industry, so it decided tot take action. O.M Scott & Sons grew into a national company that distributed its products by mail, and eventually sold to retail stores nationwide in 1959. The company was able to grow expanding the company’s field sales force. This increase in sales force led to a continued increase in sales and profits, which allowed the company to invest in R&D more heavily. This increase in R&D led to better products, which further increased sales and profits. The objective was to service the various retailers across the U.S with adequate inventories, especially in the high seasonal peaks. This was difficult for most of the smaller sized dealers the company was selling to, so Scott had to fund the dealer inventory buildup by itself.

CMR Enterprises is confronting an issue with one of its most valuable clients, Blackstone. Blackstone as one of the biggest customers in the area, giving CMR an opportunity for immediate market share and his volume supported its goals to standardize its processes into flexible cells. They approached CMR looking for a new partner to work on a business that represented 25% of CMR’s residential business during the first year of this relationship. Sam Marcus was counting on further growth with his customer to pay his debt and fund expansion efforts. But relationships with Blackstone had become increasingly intense on residential construction.

There however are challenges in the industry occasioned by uncertainty on future spending on construction projects by the government. Moreover, the cost of doing business and the ability to increasingly make revenue have created a challenging environment for the construction firms. Therefore stakeholders in the construction industry are concerned with whether the government would increase its spending and whether the public construction projects will be available in the future since less than 10 percent are currently financing their clients.

Keeping all this in mind, builders have to work alongside clients to satisfy their project needs. Projects are also being built quicker because of the demand to occupy them instantly.

The construction industry much like other industries is dependant with the distribution of “scarce resources” (Drake,1994). Many of its resources known as the factors or production i.e. labour, capital, land etc. are limited (Gregory-Mankiw, 2008), however, wants and desires within the industry are infinite (Myers, 2013). Kishtainy notes that this creates two problems; at any given time, there will be a fixed number of resource, against numerous wants. Sloman 2003 adds that in an effort to rectify this, he argues that we must make choices, in terms of choices within the construction industry Myers suggested that firms need to considered their investments made, how they construct and for whom they construct for.
