May 19, 2009

McGraw Hill Construction has released its list of the top general contractors, based on 2008 domestic revenue. Some glass-industry experts say now is the time to be strengthening relationships with general contractors.

For example, Henry Taylor of Kawneer advised during a speech during the BEC Conference earlier this year that contract glaziers take a look at who their general contractors are. He recommended focusing on working with those contractors with whom they already have a good relationship—but to also introduce themselves to those particularly strong contractors out there.

"Make sure you service them well," Taylor said. "I think servicing is going to be key over the next few years." He added, "Make sure you know the value you bring to your general contractor and relay that to him."
