More and more we are noticing that our jobs are bifurcating. Our smaller jobs are getting a little bit smaller, in fact, they are on average about half the size of what they used to be, and our larger jobs are getting larger and have gone up in size by 25 to 50 percent. The middle seems to be disappearing. For us, it is a combination of the economy with the middle-size budgets just getting smaller but the ultra-luxury clientele is not feeling the impact. Plus, there are supply chain issues where more professional/luxury equipment is getting diverted to larger projects and, in order to feed the smaller projects, we are using alternative suppliers and products that are in stock and available for installation.
The Shifting Market
High-end and entry-level jobs keep coming in, but mid-size projects seem to be disappearing.
