He notes the business is also adapting well by using its initiative when it comes to product selection , and ensuring the company can save the customer as much money as possible , without compromising on quality . “ As a general contractor , we ’ re closely connected with the subcontractor community but there ’ s always going to be turbulence with these sorts of things . Steel , for example ; three years ago the material was the biggest problem in this country , and then it was timber . Timber went up by about 125 percent , then that was corrected . We are overcoming these issues by being reassuring and communicating with our customers ,” he said .
