Construction and Real Estate Development

SKILLS INSIGHT COMMITMENT

With a staff of experts who've worked with contractors all over southwestern Ohio, our local market insight stays fresh as well.

In looking out for your interest, we take a proactive approach with the issues that concern you most. Construction is a highly volatile industry that needs to respond to on-going changes. Outside factors, including tax requirements, interest rates, governmental regulations, energy prices and material shortages, often dictate to what degree a construction company will prosper.

Addressing industry changes:

To assist in an analysis of credit worthiness we've developed a ratio analysis package to facilitate negotiations with banks and surety companies.

We've engaged a consultant whose career was devoted to contractor's insurance to work with us and our clients to help enhance your credit image and increase your bonding capacity.

Our eyes are wide open at all times, seeking opportunities that can help clients succeed. When a change in the law brought the potential of a more favorable accounting method to light, we went to bat with the U.S. Treasury Department on behalf of a wastewater treatment contractor. The new method is allowing the contractor to preserve several hundred thousand dollars of cash flow annually.

That kind of commitment to individual clients' needs can pay off for you.

In addition to our traditional services, we can assist you in the following areas:

  • Financing and bonding negotiations

  • Job costing systems

  • Budgeting

  • Cash flow management

  • Computer hardware and software slection/training

  • Owner succession planning

  • Employee benefit plans

  • Buy/Sell agreements

  • Lease/buy considerations

  • Regulatory and licensing reporting

  • Business valuations

  • Mergers and acquisitions

  • Equipment management and control

  • Contract review (non-legal)

  • Financial forecasting

  • Construction cost audits
