How To Do More With Less — Strategic Contracting In Construction

In construction contracting and procurement, this strain is particularly acute due to unique skillset requirements, ever-increasing compliance standards and contractor availability. One solution to this problem is to strategically focus on the most visible and complex projects and utilize compliant and innovative approaches for the remainder.
