Here we are creeping up on the end of the 3rd quarter, so I wanted to post a blog to all our clients concerning everyone’s business in 2008. It’s been a tough one, for all of us. But, remember…..we will survive!
Each day we talk to our clients, and listen to your worries during the slow market, slow construction & development. We don’t want to jinx things, but we are experiencing an increase in business this month. Could the ice be cracking a bit?
In the last couple of months, we have taken and filled orders from out-of-state surveyors from storm damaged areas too.
One new client is buying survey stakes and grade stakes for contracted jobs they have in Iraq. Our production team takes pride in knowing their hardwork is a valuable tool for engineers, contractors, and surveyors all over the globe.
The biggest “OUCH” we have had lately is the price of steel. So many of our customers use our #4 and #5 Iron Rods. And everytime we order our steel, the price has gone up again. It’s frustrating.
Our best seller is our survey lath. Year after year, it’s our top item. Our 1/2″ x 2″ x 48″ lath has precision points. Everyone LOVES our points! And if you haven’t tried our survey lath, you should call for a sample – it will impress you.
Hopefully, our increased sales is the ground floor statistic that the construction & real estate market may be on an upswing here in Florida. Time will tell……
Yes, we’ve cut our production staff, just as you have reduced your field crews – but we are still here!
We will survive!
