BUGS! How to Minimize Their Impact
June 10, 2024
The construction industry has long been a dependable and lucrative source of income for portable toilet rental businesses. While there will always be opportunities for PROs to provide services at commercial and residential construction sites, the number of projects occurring will vary yearly depending on the location and the current economy.
When the home building market is hot, well-connected PROs can reap the benefits by scoring loads of contracts. So, what is the state of the industry right now? Where are property values rising and new residences being built at a high rate?
Because the state of the home building industry impacts the potential customer base for PROs, we wanted to put the spotlight on it. We created not one but FOUR infographics with maps highlighting the states and metropolitan areas where residential construction was on the rise between the fourth quarter of 2022 and the fourth quarter of 2023.
Find out if you’re in an area where things are trending upward so you can be on the lookout for opportunities to network with homebuilders and become the portable sanitation service provider of choice at construction sites throughout your area!
