Starting A Business After Graduation
Posted by pattya on December 14, 2008
Our business is barely a year old but I can say we are doing well. I and my business partner are both civil engineers and immediately after graduation, we put up our own construction business.
Well, I should say that part of our success may have stemmed from the fact that our parents are also civil engineers who are working in other areas. It was not difficult for us to buy second hand equipment like a portable screening plant. Our projects are still focused on small housing projects and we move from there to bigger buildings.
But as early as now, we have done our research on market trends. We also did our research on purchasing necessary equipment like gravel screening machines and we actually realized that we could buy a machine that could screen multiple fragment sizes. We found a good machine from EZ Screen and our next savings will be for buying from this company.
I know it is still a long way to go to make a niche in the construction industry. We are fully aware about the economic problems today but for us, having our business is better than getting stuck working for somebody else. At least if we have our business, there will be limitless room for growth and income generation.
