Last year was: “Organic growth in investments (and) in personnel continued revenue growth for the company,” said Adam Brissman, co-owner. “We have been hiring and training new project managers and investing a lot of time and money in training for OSHA 30 classes, just started a Wisconsin Dept. of Workforce Development-approved training program for roofing and sheet metal as well as a massive overhaul of our in-house training programs. Every hour we spend training the project managers and the other employees increases our revenue by reducing rework, increasing staff retention and client referrals by the visible quality compared to other contractors they have dealt with.”
