With at least $700 billion dollars pledged for the economic stimulas, the question is how long will it take to see results.  Most of this money will go to awarding construction contracts to rebuild the country’s infrastructure like bridges, government buildings and roads.  This could result in a boom for the construction industry.  What we are doing is preparing to assist contractors weed through the government regulations in order to land these contracts.

The normal procedure when awarding public contracts is to advertise for bids.  Qualified bidders then obtain copies of the plans and specifications and submit sealed bids.  Before the government is in a position to advertise for bids, it must have the engineers and architects prepare the necessary construction documents including the blueprints and specifications.  These are then made available to contractors in order to bid the job.  I suspect it could take months before the government is in a position to seek bids.

When that happens our firm will be in a position to assist construction contractors who want to take advantagew of what could be the biggest business opportunities in many years.
