Some owners are seeing a benefit to the economic times. Projects get few and far between and the backlog shrinks. The contractors want to keep their best people busy and not lay them off. This can mean that the cream of the crop for the construction of the next project may be available. The days of getting “green” project managers and craft could be temporally over. I have even heard that on a power plant that is under construction right now there have been no letters sent about delay or coordination problems and the project has been underway for about a year. Right now the prices are right and the contractors are using their best people. Let the building begin!
