Rationale for a Special Edition of the Construction Industry Newsletter

The April 2009 issue of the Construction Industry Newsletter featured an article by Kimmel & Associates Vice President Alan MacNair suggesting methods you might implement to navigate these challenging times wisely and profitably by reducing costs, finding new revenue sources, and hiring professionals who can help make your company run more efficiently and position itself to seize more of your market.

Similarly, this Special Edition of the Construction Industry Newsletter aims to provide you with concrete means to help you find some of the construction projects which are either taking shape now or which soon will be.

The contents of this Construction Industry Newsletter are intended to be a streamlined reference for information, advice, and resources to find projects that may grow out of the money in the Federal Stimulus package dedicated to construction.

Beyond that, please let us know in what way we can be of further service to you.

An Open Letter to Our Clients

Dear Client:

We believe that construction is a fundamental industry in our country, and our long relationships with thousands of construction professionals drives us to re-double our efforts to serve you in ways that provide tangible assistance in these troubled times.

To that end, Kimmel & Associates has poured many hours into researching emerging markets and potential areas of growth for our clients, and we would be happy to share those ideas with you. Perhaps you will explore the website links included below which highlight projects emerging from the Federal Stimulus plan, and that may lead you to wish to discuss with one of our consultants where new business opportunities lie.

Further, we talk constantly with the strongest Preconstruction Professionals, Estimators and Business Development Executives in the country, and we can help you establish contact with some of the very men and women who are expert at procuring new business and widening your profit margins.

This country is always looking and needing to grow, and a downturn in our economy will not undercut the hard work you do and the sincere effort you make every day. Our nearly thirty years in business have proved that we are resilient, like you, and we want to help lead you forward toward more prosperous times.

In that spirit of service and hope, we trust this newsletter and the work at Kimmel & Associates is useful and encouraging to you.

Sincerely,
Charlie Kimmel
President, Kimmel & Associates

Projects Funded by the Federal Stimulus Package

Here, as was mentioned above, for your convenience and quick use, are several prominent websites devoted to providing information about the Federal Stimulus program’s effort to help keep construction vital in 2009 and beyond.

The Research Team at Kimmel & Associates has judged that these sites offer you the easiest and most comprehensive access to the projects that are likely to spring from funds delivered to federal projects as well as to states and municipalities through the Federal Stimulus program.
