PROFESSIONAL WOMEN IN CONSTRUCTION

Posted on April 20, 2010 by Nicole LaBrecque, Director of Health Care Business Development

On April 10, I attended a seminar sponsored by the Connecticut Chapter of Professional Women in Construction. The panel discussion, Meet the Construction Chiefs, featured several of our national construction management colleagues.

These knowledgeable panelists answered questions ranging from mergers and acquisitions among national firms to maintaining your firm’s identity in a growing field of competition and, most relevant to PC Construction, discussed market trends and market-specific growth. Though there was an across-the-board acknowledgement of the difficult economic climate we are facing, all noted emerging construction activity on the water treatment, energy, and health care markets throughout New England.

PC Construction is pleased to participate in these events at the invitation of the Professional Women in Construction Connecticut Board of Directors, which is comprised of several of our long-standing design partners. We look forward to the next event, Getting What You Bargained for in a Tough Economy, on May 4, which will address both legal and practical options to ensure payment and performance on construction projects.
