Question: There is always a potential risk when operating a construction business. The best way to limit risk is to improve their ability to recognize potential trouble and to know how to manage them. Construction companies need to know when and how to start increasing project size. You have to learn how to crawl and walk before you learn how to jump. Companies should work their way up to more significant projects. They should always be mindful of changes in geographic locations. Being from Florida, a warm state with sand, it would be a challenge to start a new project in Georgia, where there is clay and can still snow. Moving into new types of construction is also a risk. It's best to stick with what you know. Building houses and building roads are a lot different. Good workers are always hard to find, especially with the current trend. So, when you have had excellent workers, you must replace them with qualified people who match up well with your company. To make sure that all of these things are being taken into account, it is essential that you have an owner/manager who is mature enough to handle all of these things.
