Engineering a 400% Revenue Boost in 60 Days: The Power of Countertrade for a US-Based Construction Company
Here's What We Do Better
Background
Our client, a US-based engineering and construction company, specializes in large-scale infrastructure projects for government agencies and private enterprises. They have a diverse portfolio of services, including design, procurement, construction, and project management. Their target markets are both domestic and international clients, with a focus on developing countries where infrastructure investment is rapidly growing.
