We have guys that are really excellent in those sectors and we don’t want their talent and experience to go to waste.” Within the commercial and institutional sectors, however, one change Converge Construction does want to make is they want to do bigger projects, with higher contract values. They believe they have more than proven their ability to take on those $10 million-plus jobs and they would love the opportunity to continue proving themselves on projects of that calibre. “There’s a little bit higher risk in those projects, but we’re ready and able to take on that risk,” Jacob concludes. “We want to take the next step and make more of an impact.” “There’s a little bit higher risk in those projects, but we’re ready and able to take on that risk,” Jacob concludes. “We want to take the next step and make more of an impact.” NOVEMBER 2024
