A year of growth
The nation’s
tight economy hasn’t put the squeeze on the state’s
top architects, as many predicted a better year than last and
even sweeter times ahead.
“This
year has been exceptional,” said Jim Sutton, director of
business development with The Stubenrauch Architects Inc. in Sheboygan.
“At times, watching the economy, you’d think things
would have slowed down, but frankly, for us it didn’t. It’s
been a very good year, and things are continuing to look good
for next year.”

A numbers game
Work appears
to be on the up and up for engineering firms across the state.
But numbers
alone may be deceiving.
A review of
information engineering firms submitted to The Daily Reporter
indicates that the number of projects companies have been juggling
during the first six months of this year is sizeable. In fact,
if the pace set in the first half of 2001 continues, many engineering
firms would finish this year ahead of last.

Smooth sailing
Wisconsin’s
top general contractors waxed up their boards to ride a wave of
unprecedented volume recorded so far in 2001, and many are positioning

“We have
almost $200 million of new sales and a backlog as we work off
our existing work,” said Bill Harvat, vice president at Miron
Construction Company Inc., the Menasha-based general contractor.
“We’ll be fully employed into next year. We’re
pretty optimistic.”

in Web design isn't too far away from construction industry work.
Great attention
is paid to every detail, the right technologies are used to get
the job done and, in the end, the finished product leaves its
mark not only on the skyline but also in the minds of everyone
who strolls by and utters, "Wow."
