Our consulting services have been offered on a continuous basis since 1990.  It was then that we decided to concentrate 100% on offering consulting services to the various disciplines within the factory building industry.  

As a CEO of many years standing I knew first hand the need to have someone available to whom operations could turn to for assistance.   Someone who could become a pro tempore member of their team to help solve a particular problem or to perform a prescribed scope of work, without affecting their day to day operations.  I also knew of the lack of full-time professional consultants within the industry, and the need of the industry for help.

The Small Business Administration (SBA), on their small business planner web site states, "Never think you can do it alone! One of the best ways to insulate yourself against business failure is to find and work with a mentor, someone with business experience who can guide and assist you."  We share that assessment by the SBA and feel we can be the professional mentor they encourage you to use.
 

Since the formation of our consulting services in 1990 we have been privileged to perform consulting work for a large number of companies (both large and small) as well as individual entrepreneurs in virtually every discipline in the automated building industry.

That work has found us developing
