While it completes work for various industries, its primary focus lies in healthcare, food and beverage, education, commercial, industrial, and institutional markets. The Company serves as the preferred contractor for a number of national companies, leading to 10%-20% of annual revenues coming from out-of-state projects that fall within its specialized fields of expertise.
The Company is poised for accelerated growth based on its record-high backlog, which has grown consistently since 2018 and is currently $5M higher than compared to one year ago. The Company is uniquely positioned in a growing Midwest city and holds opportunities to participate in significant developments occurring in the region. Through its established reputation, the Company is presented with $400M-$500M in bid opportunities yearly, only accepting 10%-15% due to current labor capacity. If the Company were to scale its workforce, it could capture a readily available $10M-$20M in additional revenue with no additional capital expenditures required.
