- The company operates in the utility construction sector, primarily serving residential developers in a growing metro area.

Competition includes regional contractors and large-scale firms; however, barriers to entry, licensing requirements, and Company's reputation, relationships, and seasoned team create a strong competitive advantage.
- Opportunities for Growth
- Significant growth potential exists by adding dedicated sales and estimating staff, expanding production teams, and developing an online presence.
