“Any time other industries slow down, that
eventually has an impact on the construc-
tion world because we’re the ones building
things for them. So when they slow down,
we will slow down too,” said Mark Cooper,
president and CEO of the Saskatchewan
Construction Association (SCA).
The present situation is this: less work,
more competition and an influx of out-of-
province companies. The combination of
both the slowdown and new competition
has led to a situation where construction
companies are making their pricing more
competitive. In some cases, the neces-
sity to strictly control costs has resulted
in layoffs and in times like these, the SCA
comes to the aid of its members.
