Veteran-owned businesses are a passion for us at Troop Industrial. We’d like to take a chance this holiday season to celebrate some awesome (and delicious) brands that are owned by veteran entrepreneurs.
Sourcing EPC material for a large-scale capital project takes a strategic mindset. Anything else is lighting money on fire.
At Troop Industrial, we’re all-in on supporting veteran-owned businesses. Transitioning back into civilian life can be tough. We love a success story about a hard-nosed vet who’s pulled themselves up by the bootstraps and created something meaningful that speaks to their passions and puts food on the table.
Here’s a scenario that’s all too common in this industry. Maybe you’ve been there recently.
In a mega-sized EPC project, how you handle material management has high stakes for your schedule and budget. Construction materials alone make up about 50-60% of a capital project's total cost, and snags in material flow cause 80% of project delays. If you’re winging it, you’re losing millions.
The pipeline for Engineering Procurement Construction (EPC) projects is white hot. By September of 2022, over 100 million square feet of industrial development space had been delivered to the U.S. market in this year alone — a new record. Another 586.7 million square feet of industrial space was already in the construction stage — also a record.
Troop Ranch is a place to relax, sit by a warm fire, and listen to good music. Someone may even pull out a guitar and you might be singing your favorite country song like you wrote it! There’s cold drinks and some of the best food cooked on an open fire. The stars are big and bright. The comradery is fantastic.
Large scale construction and EPC projects have a ton of moving parts. Now, more than ever, your suppliers have a huge impact on how smoothly things move, and the wrong choice can lead to costly delays, negatively impact the schedule, and cause significant cost overruns. Here are a few things to look for in a top notch supplier for industrial bolts and gaskets.
Material shortages and supply chain snags are still crushing builds nationwide. It’s going to take more than a magic word and a snap of your fingers to get that building material delivery in on time. The truth is, these days, you need more than just a building material supplier to keep projects on track.
