Concrete Installation

Executive Summary

Introduction
Concrete Installation LLC plans to become the leading provider of concrete formwork services in the area. This means always having the best and most efficient facilities, processes, and people. To achieve this, Concrete Installation is investing in many ways that will pay off in competitive advantages for its customers.

The company’s overall strategy will be based on a continuing improvement process of setting objectives, measuring results, and providing feedback to facilitate further growth and progress.

Concrete Installation is an Oklahoma Limited Liability company, with principal offices located in Sulphur, Oklahoma. Concrete Installation’s management is highly experienced and qualified. Mr. Barry Newman leads the management team with over ten years of experience in the construction industry.

Products/Services
Concrete Installation has developed sophisticated formwork solutions for some of the most complex construction projects being done today. The company’s standard form systems are versatile and completely adaptable to a variety of configurations such as Y-walls, shafts, and circular walls.

The Concrete Installation system can be adapted to almost any construction requirement that calls for forming. The company’s expert staff has the capability to design and manufacture any custom component or accessory item that may be required to complete the formwork package.

Owners, developers, construction managers, general contractors, and concrete subcontractors have realized substantial savings in labor and material costs by using structural contours construction methods, systems and equipment. Applications include commercial and residential structures, bridges, educational projects, recreational projects, civil projects, tunnels, utility projects, environmental projects, and virtually every other type of concrete construction.

The Market
The housing industry has proceeded at a red-hot pace for several years running. An all-time record was set in 1998, when 886,000 new-site single family homes were sold. That represented a 10% gain from the robust total of 804,000 homes sold in 1997, and an 8.1% rise from the prior record of 819,000 units in 1977. Single-family housing construction accounted for $48 million of the total $125 million generated in the industry. This makes for an excellent opportunity to expand Concrete Installation operations and gain significant market share in its primary target market segment. The company also plans to focus to a lesser extent on the residential and heavy construction industry, which is also very robust at the moment.

The company plans to rapidly develop marketing alliances with industry leaders and pursue new sales of its services to residential and commercial builders. The market strategy is to capitalize on Concrete Installation’s alliances by securing city, county, and state and federal government contracts.

Concrete Installation plans to use a direct sales force, relationship selling, and subcontractors to reach its markets. These channels are most appropriate because of time to market, reduced capital requirements, and fast access to established distribution channels.

Financial Considerations
We expect to be profitable during the first year of operations. Despite initial large outlays in cash to promote sales, the company’s cash account is expected to remain healthy. The company expects to earn approximately 1.5 million dollars in revenue by Year 3.

4.1 Market Segmentation

The housing industry has proceeded at a red-hot pace for several years running. An all-time record was set in 1998, when 886,000 new-site single family homes were sold. That represented a 10% gain from the robust total of 804,000 homes sold in 1997, and an 8.1% rise from the prior record of 819,000 units in 1977. Single-family housing construction accounted for $48 million of the total $125 million generated in the industry.

Home sales strengthened even further during most of 1999’s first 10 months. In that period, new single-family home sales increased by 4.8% on a year-to-year basis, to 791,000 units, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce. Through October 1999, seasonally adjusted sales had exceeded 800,000 on an annualized basis in every month since the start of 1998.

The record setting string of home sales since the second half of 1997 has forced builders to pick up the pace of their construction activity. During 1998, total starts increased by 9.7% to 1.62 million units. Starts for single family units moved up 12 % for the year, and those of multifamily units were ahead by 1.5%. As an indication of building activity at year-end 1999, housing starts in November 1999 came in at a seasonally-adjusted annual rate of 1.6 million units.

The table below outlines the total market potential of the three targeted market segments in the served markets (in US$ thousands).

Promotional Campaign

Concrete Installation is committed to an extensive promotional campaign. This will be done aggressively and on a broad scale. To accomplish initial sales goals, the company will require an effective promotional campaign to accomplish two primary objectives:

  1. Attract customers who will constantly look to Concrete Installation for their construction projects.
  2. Attract quality sales personnel who have a desire to be successful.

In addition to standard advertisement practices, Concrete Installation will gain considerable recognition through these additional promotional mediums:

  • Press releases sent to major radio stations, newspapers, and magazines.
  • Radio advertising on secondary stations.

Marketing Programs

For the first six months of operation, advertising and promotion is budgeted at approximately $11,000. A fixed amount of sales revenues will go toward the state Concrete Installation advertisement campaign. On an ongoing basis, Concrete Installation feels that it can budget advertising expenses at less than 10% of revenues.

Incentives. As an extra incentive for customers to remember Concrete Installation’s name, the company plans to distribute coffee mugs, T-shirts, pens, and other advertising specialties with its logo.

Brochures. The objective of brochures is to portray Concrete Installations’ goals and products as an attractive functionality. It is also to show customers how to use the latest in technology as it relates to construction and building services. Concrete Installation will develop three brochures: one to be used to promote sales, one to use to announce the product in a new market, and the other to recruit sales associates.

Management Summary

The company’s management philosophy will be based on responsibility and mutual respect. Concrete Installation will maintain an environment and structure that will encourage productivity and respect for customers and fellow employees.

Concrete Installation will be responsible to its employees, the men and women who work with the company throughout the state.
