Although supply chain issues and material costs gained considerable attention during the COVID-19 pandemic, these are hardly new to the construction industry.

Four effective ways subcontractors can help protect themselves from rising material costs and long lead times:
• Purchase materials early when possible.
• Include material and price-specific clauses in contracts.
• Allow substitutions with materials of like kind and quality.
• Consider a time and materials contract when appropriate.

Every project is different, but the right contract strategy can help subcontractors better manage rising costs, supply chain uncertainty, and project delays.

What does exceptional customer service look like in construction?

In Contractor's Compass, Gregg Schoppman of FMI Corp. shares a few questions contractors can use to evaluate the customer experience they provide:
• Does your organization's vision or mission statement reference the customer/client in any way?
• When was the last time your team provided exceptional customer service?
• What are you doing to create an experience that keeps clients coming back?

Customer service is often considered a marketing function, but the customer experience extends throughout the life of a project.

Today, Mike Oscar had the privilege of addressing the American Subcontractors Association (ASA) Houston Chapter as ASA’s Government Relations Director. I want to thank the chapter for its prodigious advocacy efforts on workforce development, immigration, and federal procurement reform, as well as its stalwart support of the Subcontractors Legal Defense Fund (SLDF)—our legal defense fund protecting the interests of subcontractors.

While politics and the upcoming election are always part of the conversation, what impressed me most was the chapter’s work on the front lines of an industry undergoing tremendous change. Data center development presents enormous opportunities and significant challenges, from workforce availability and construction timelines to project efficiency and ex*****on. These projects must also navigate legitimate and growing discussions around environmental impacts, community engagement, and demands on the electrical grid.

The conversations today were thoughtful, substantive, and insightful. The Houston Chapter understands that effective advocacy goes beyond Washington—it means staying engaged with the issues shaping our industry, addressing challenges head-on, and ensuring that subcontractors have a meaningful voice in the decisions that affect their businesses and livelihoods.

Thank you to the ASA Houston Chapter for your dedication, leadership, and continued commitment to ASA and the construction subcontracting community in Houston and beyond. Your advocacy makes a difference!
