They are ok, but still stuck in the old ways of doing business. For some reason they still think they are the "kings of the island" which I have literally heard from one of the senior people. That might have been true back in the 70s and 80s, but is not today. Their equipment is old and beat up and they haven't invested in any of the latest technology. They treat subcontractors with contempt with attitudes like "sign our contract or else". Its easy to see why they aren't the biggest general contractor on the island anymore, and if they don't change their attitude they will continue to shrink. If you look at most of their contracts today they are all negotiated or construction management, they win very little hard bid lump sum contracts which is a reflection of how they treat subs and suppliers
