FMI Speaker Coming to Spokane September 9th! | |
CFMA is pleased to offer the following presentation by FMI:
- Developing a Proactive & Sustainable Strategy for Profitability & Success Today & Tomorrow and
- Succession Planning... Congratulations, You've Made it to Tomorrow But Now Have the Desire to Retire
Having enjoyed nearly fifteen years of economic prosperity, Construction Company Executives find themselves navigating uncharted waters. Long term thinking has been supplanted by the here and now with the majority of contractors simply focused on getting work at any price. Leaders are mired in tactical day-to-day slog fests with little emphasis on piloting their organizations around the proverbial icebergs associated with longer term sustainability.
Gregg Schoppman, a Principal with FMI's Tampa, FL office, and the largest provider of management consulting, investment banking and research to the engineering and construction industries will provide insight into what progressive contractors are doing to develop profitable revenue in today's challenging "New Normal" economic marketplace. Mr. Schoppman will provide attendees an understanding
into competitive and economic factors pertinent to the contractor, productivity gain methodologies, management and personnel development, niche' marketing and a variety of analytical tools that will guide an organization's ability to get work, execute it in a manner that generates profit and keep score properly in the new economy of today and tomorrow.

EPA Decision to Withdraw Proposed Limit on Dirt in Stormwater Will Help Construction Industry Avoid Billions in New Costs |
The chief executive officer of the Associated General Contractors of America, Stephen E. Sandherr, issued the following statement in response to the decision by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to withdraw proposed "numeric limits" on the amount of dirt the agency will allow in stormwater from construction sites:
"The fact that the EPA recognizes the serious flaws in the data supporting its efforts to impose a rigid, one-size-fits all, limit on the amount of dirt in rainwater running leaves construction jobsites is encouraging. Indeed, contractors are already required to take significant measures to ensure that dirt - clean, uncontaminated dirt - does not escape from project sites. Setting a specific limit on how much dirt should be in rainwater will only force contractors to spend billions more on new dirt-busting measures that may not work, expose firms to costly lawsuits from outside groups and put them at risk of receiving tens of thousands in daily fines.
"Unfortunately, the EPA is only seeking to delay imposing its new mud rule, instead of abandoning the idea all together. In other words, this administration remains committed to the idea that protecting the Earth from dirt is more important than protecting the economy from costly, prescriptive and questionable new regulatory measures."
