2023 Q4 Quarterly Insights
In the ever-evolving world of construction, staying ahead means looking forward. At IBC, we understand that foresight is crucial for our growth and providing our clients with the best service possible. That's why we're excited to share some important insights into the world of forecasting and its impact on our industry and projects.
Forecasting: Building the Future
Forecasting gives us a clear financial roadmap that helps us diversify, grow revenue, and establish better processes and procedures. As we approach the end of the year, forecasting becomes particularly relevant. It's not just about budgeting; it's about understanding where we stand, where we're headed, and what challenges and opportunities lie ahead. This involves analyzing market projections, assessing economic factors, and considering various external influences, such as politics and natural disasters.
At IBC, we take forecasting seriously. We start our year with a comprehensive budgeting session, drawing on the wisdom of the past three years. However, we don't stop there; we continually monitor our progress and fine-tune our forecasts throughout the year. In October, we sit down with our team and CPAs to review our financial health and depreciation of assets and listen to their expert advice on what's coming down the pipeline.
