1.0 Executive Summary

Twin Brothers Construction (TBC) plans to become a leading provider of construction and
renovation services in the local area. The company's overall strategy will be based on a
continuing improvement process of setting objectives, measuring results, and providing
feedback to facilitate further growth and progress.

TBC is a company, with principal offices located in the local area. The company's management
is highly experienced and qualified: the brothers who will lead the management team have
each accumulated over twenty five years of experience in the construction industry.

Products/Services
Through their years of experience, TBC's owners have developed sophisticated bidding,
scheduling and materials solutions for some of the most complex construction projects being
done today. The company will use versatile and completely adaptable methods for a variety of
building configurations.

Owners, developers, construction managers, general contractors, and sub-contractors are


expected to realize substantial savings in labor and material costs by using the
company's construction methods and systems. Applications include commercial and residential
structures.

The Market
The housing industry has been growing at a fast pace for several years. An all-time record was
set in 1998, when 886,000 new-site single family homes were sold. That represented a 10%
gain from the robust total of 804,000 homes sold in 1997. Although there was a slight drop in
the number from 2003, this makes for an excellent opportunity for future expansion of the
industry.

Twin Brothers Construction plans to rapidly develop marketing alliances with industry leaders
and pursue new sales of its services to residential and commercial builders. The marketing
strategy will focus on securing city, county, and state and federal government contracts.

TBC plans to use a direct sales force, relationship selling, and sub-contractors to reach its
target markets. These channels are most appropriate because of time to market, reduced
capital requirements, and fast access to established distribution channels.

Financial Considerations
We expect to pass the break-even point in the second half of the first year. Despite initial large
outlays in cash to promote sales, the company's cash account is expected to remain healthy.
The company expects approximately $772,000 in sales revenue and reasonable net profits by
Year 3.

Chart: Highlights

1.1 Mission

Our mission is to be the best partner for our customers, suppliers and employees. To realize
our vision, we will strive for profitable growth, operational excellence, customer satisfaction and
strong brand positioning.

1.2 Objectives

1. To have up to three construction projects established within the first year.


2. To have two building renovation projects in progress by the end of the first year.
3. To locate and purchase our first rental building by the end of the first year.
4. To achieve at least 7% profit by the second year.

1.3 Keys to Success

We believe our keys to success will be:

 Using the most updated materials and equipment to assure quality construction projects for
ourselves and our customers.
 Educating the customers and providing valuable advice during the construction planning
stages.
 Helping to confirm customer's research about targeting markets and specific sectors.
 Overseeing the logistics associated with a project, which can include arranging local
transportation, booking meetings etc.
 Assigning the actual work to an experienced and qualified third-party contractors and sub-
contractors.

2.2 Company Ownership

The company ownership will be shared by the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer in the
following percentage amounts:

Chairman = 60%

Chief Executive Officer = 40%

Both owners are veterans in the building industry, each with over 25 years experience.

3.0 Products and Services

TBC will sell its services to clients in the area of commercial construction and renovation. The
company's staff will design specialized construction drawings that outline the schedule, work
sequence and the materials needed for building and renovation construction projects. Owners,
developers and general contractors will realize substantial savings in labor and material costs
by using TBC's customized performance methods. TBC's methods will offer complete
adaptability at cost-effective prices. The drawings that the company will furnish to the
contractor will specify the order of assembly and erection, including the location of the
strongbacks and joists, the location and actual loading of the ties, location of accessories and
advise clients of the maximum allowable rate of concrete placement.

A longer-term service will be commercial building rental management. This will include the
purchase of commercial building sites or existing buildings that need renovation, coordinating
the construction/renovation, then managing the rental of the property. The company will also
be looking for existing property owners whose properties need renovation to update and
increase its income potential, with TBC eventually taking over the management of these
properties on behalf of the owner.

Page 5
Twin Brothers Construction

To enter the market with minimum overhead costs, TBC plans to utilize in the first year of
operation mainly sub-contractors and independent experts for its building and renovation
projects.

Accident prevention will be the cornerstone of TBC's safety commitment. The company will
strive to eliminate foreseeable hazards which could result in personal injury or illness; at TBC,
health and safety will not be compromised.

4.0 Market Analysis Summary

There were about 792,000 construction companies in the United States in 2002: 237,000 were
building construction contractors; 60,000 were heavy and civil engineering construction or
highway contractors; and 496,000 were specialty trade contractors. Most of these
establishments tend to be small, the majority employing fewer than 10 workers. About 4 out of
5 workers are employed by small contractors.

Construction offers more opportunities than most other industries for individuals who want to
own and run their own business. The 1.6 million self-employed and unpaid family workers in
2002 performed work directly for property owners or acted as contractors on small jobs, such
as additions, remodeling, and maintenance projects. The rate of self-employment varies greatly
by individual occupation in the construction trades.

The local area is booming at this time, with many development projects running both by public
and by private sources. Overall business growth over the past seven years has averaged
approximately 9.5% and is expected to continue for at least the next several years. This
constitutes an attractive market for TBC. The company will be concentrating on office building
construction. This is the fastest growing segment of all the commercial clients requiring our
services. The other categories to serve will include building renovation along with a segment it
calls the general category, to serve other potential commercial clients.

One longer-term field of operation for the company will be the selling of building material and
components to contractors. By slowly establishing itself as a first-rate material provider, the
company expects to broaden and strengthen its stance in the local building industry. Initially it
will focus on purchasing supplies for its own construction and renovation projects, then use
those completed projects as marketing examples to showcase the quality of materials used and
the customized approach used to design and construct them.

The company plans to develop marketing alliances with industry leaders and pursue new sales
of its services to commercial builders. The market strategy is to capitalize on the company's
future alliances by securing city, county, and state government contracts.

TBC also plans to use a direct sales force, relationship selling, and sub-contractors to reach its
markets. These channels are most appropriate because of time to market, reduced capital
requirements, and fast access to established distribution channels.

4.2 Service Business Analysis

The construction industry is divided into three major segments. Construction of buildings
contractors, or general contractors, who build residential, industrial, commercial, and other
buildings. Heavy and civil engineering construction contractors who build sewers, roads,
highways, bridges, tunnels, and other projects. Specialty trade contractors who are engaged in
specialized activities such as carpentry, painting, plumbing, and electrical work.

Construction usually is done or coordinated by general contractors, who specialize in one type
of construction, such as residential or commercial building. They take full responsibility for the
complete job, except for specified portions of the work that may be omitted from the general
contract. Although general contractors may do a portion of the work with their own crews, they
often sub-contract most of the work to heavy construction or specialty trade contractors.
Page 8
Twin Brothers Construction

Specialty trade contractors usually do the work of only one trade, such as painting, carpentry,
or electrical work, or of two or more closely-related trades, such as plumbing and heating.
Beyond fitting their work to that of the other trades, specialty trade contractors have no
responsibility for the structure as a whole. They obtain orders for their work from general
contractors, architects, or property owners. Repair work is almost always done on direct order
from owners, occupants, architects, or rental agents.

Twin Brothers Construction will concentrate its activity in the following areas:

 Commercial Building Construction


 Commercial Building Renovation
 Buildings Management and Rental
 Building Materials Supplies

5.0 Strategy and Implementation Summary

TBC plans to use a direct sales force, relationship selling, and sub-contractors to reach its
target markets. These channels are most appropriate because of time to market, reduced
capital requirements, and fast access to established distribution channels. The owners of TBC
want to emphasize to their potential customers that they are more than general contractors,
they are complete construction coordinators.

TBC plans to advertise in magazines, newspapers, and radio. Initially a website with information
on the company owners, their construction background, and contact information will be
available online. References to the website will be mentioned in all other forms of advertising.
Channels used to reach market segments include: sales associates, the Internet and direct
mail.

In addition, The table and chart below outline the company's sales forecast for FY2005-2007. In
our sales forecasts, the cost of sales includes only direct labor costs.

5.1 Competitive Edge

The company plans to become a leading provider of construction services in the local area. To
achieve this, TBC will invest in many ways that will pay off in competitive advantages for its
customers, for example:

 Pre-job conferencing upon request


 Assist in technical or conceptual design
 Assist in supervision when other contractors are employed
 Organize project supervision facilities and staff
 Organize delivery of purchased materials
 Furnishing after-market products

Page 9
Twin Brothers Construction

5.2 Marketing Strategy

Our marketing strategy is the key to our success:

1. Emphasize our name and unique services through advertising, including a Web page of
contact information. An amount of $10,000 for the design of the website has been included
in the Start-up expenses with ongoing maintenance costs estimated monthly.
2. Focus on commercial building and renovation projects as our initial and primary target
markets.
3. Use completed projects to showcase our customized construction project management to
prospective clients.

5.3 Sales Strategy

Sales success requires planning. The company will formulate its sales strategy and tactics to
achieve sales success by following these steps:

Step 1 - Analyzing The Company's Potential: Step through a structured process to help us
develop a sales strategy.

Step 2 - Strategize Around Strengths: The description of sales activity will be analyzed to
produce a report on factors impacting sales potential and ways to strengthen this potential.

Step 3 - Develop Tactics: Receive guidance to develop a comprehensive tactical plan to achieve
success.

Step 4 - Measure Our Past Success: Develop key measurements that mark the progress of
financial estimates that guide our growth.

Final Step - Employ An Action Plan for Success: Provide sales force with a tactical plan that is
aligned with management's strategic objectives.

5.3.1 Sales Forecast

The company will start its operation in the first year by focusing on two areas:

1. Direct construction work


2. Renovation of existing buildings

Starting later in the second year and continuing into the third year the following areas of
operation will be added:

 Renting of Industrial Spaces


 Sale of components and other building materials and components

The following table details the forecasts.

6.0 Web Plan Summary

Although TBC plans to use traditional advertising methods to reach potential customers, the
owners feel that the Internet has become a valuable resource for customers to find out about
the company and for the company to promote its services to prospective customers. The
construction industry was slower to join the Internet bandwagon compared to other types of
businesses. But now, many local contractors and building suppliers have websites.

The cost to create a website has been included in start-up costs, with website maintenance
costs included in our ongoing expenses. The initial website will have basic contact information
and background about the company owners. Later, it will show information about current
projects as well as completed projects as examples of what the company can do. Once the
building materials portion of the business is well established, the website will expand to include
an online store. At this point in the business plan, there are no estimates for the cost of this
expansion and it will need to be researched and planned for more thoroughly at a later point.

It will take time before the initial cost outlay for the website will pay for itself in potential
customers, but once established, it will provide a cost-effective way to communicate to new and
existing customers.

We will mention our website address as part of our other advertising media.

6.1 Website Marketing Strategy

We hope to be able to secure links to our website from the local city and chamber of commerce
websites as well as local construction-related websites that we can affiliate with.

6.2 Development Requirements

We will contract with a Website developer to initially design the look and information provided
on the website. Our initial cost for this design also includes the first six months of website
maintenance by the website developer. In October, we plan to hire a technician with experience
in website maintenance to troubleshoot and maintain the Website internally.

Once the business has progressed, we will either increase this person's hours from temporary
to a full-time position, or we will hire a second temporary technical position to assist in the re-
design and expansion of the website. Our long-term goal is to have an online store for the sale
of building materials and components.

7.0 Management Summary

The company's management philosophy will be based on responsibility and mutual


respect. Twin Brothers Construction will maintain an environment and structure that will
encourage productivity and respect for customers and fellow employees.

TBC will be responsible to its employees and sub-contractors, the men and women who will
work with the company throughout the state. At TBC everyone will be considered as an
individual and the company will respect their dignity and recognize their merit. Employees will
be encouraged to have a sense of security and pride in their jobs. Additionally, employees will
be free to make suggestions and complaints. The company will afford equal opportunity for
employment, development, and advancement for those qualified.

Page 14
Twin Brothers Construction

TBC employees will be committed to:

 Providing a safe work environment to protect employees, the employees of customers and
sub-contractors, and the public.
 Supplying safe products for customers.
 Continuously improving the company's safety program to reduce the risk of accidents and
occupational illness in a changing work environment.
 Encouraging employees to participate in accident prevention programs and take personal
responsibility for their own and their co-workers' health and safety.
 Regulatory compliance and contribution to high safety standards for our industry.
 Monitoring workplaces, enforcing safe work practices, and communicating the company's
safety performance to employees and other stakeholders.
 Making safety a value-added service that the company provides to its customers.

The company is planning to expand its personnel to add more job superintendents as soon as
the number of projects increases. These superintendents will have the following duties:

Direct supervision of all work at the job sites:

 Quality Control
 Scheduling sub-contractors and material deliveries
 Verifying and insuring that all work is done in accordance with plans
 Insuring that all work is performed in accordance with all OSHA guidelines

7.1 Personnel Plan

The personnel plan is based on the two owners to guide and oversee the operations that will be
managed by themselves. Having been in business for over 25 years, they have agreed to draw
very low salaries for the first two years to offset some of the initial expenses in starting the
business.

For the first year, the company will hire temporary and part-time employees and sub-contract
with consultants and construction professionals to perform the variety of tasks needed. Also,
our contracted construction personnel expenses are reflected in our Sales Forecast as cost of
sales, not part of our personnel table, since they will not be regular employees of the business.

7.2 Safety

TBC will be committed to conducting business in a manner that protects the health and safety
of all employees, customers, and persons living in the community where it operates. To
accomplish this, the company will ensure that it complies with current Health Administration
and Occupational Health and Safety laws and will maintain its operations, procedures,
technologies, and policies accordingly.

Each employee will have the responsibility to fully comply with established safety rules and to
perform work in such a manner as to prevent injuries to themselves and others. TBC will
be very concerned about job-site safety and plans to set up a comprehensive safety program.

Page 16
Twin Brothers Construction

8.0 Financial Plan

The brothers have long-term experience in the local construction industry. They are willing to
invest heavily in this new company and their accumulated experience will insure success for the
new venture. It will be important to watch closely the salaries and regular expenses to assure
that the company will not suffer from lack of sufficient cash to fund its operations.

1. We assume a conservative entrance and steady growth in the market.


2. We assume a slow financial progress based on initially conservative sales against highest
expenses.

Twin Brothers Construction

8.1 Projected Profit and Loss

Twin Brothers Construction is in the early stage of development, thus initial projections have
only been made based on the sales projections and efficient cost control measures in place. Our
first year monthly net profits will become positive by October, but we will still close the year
with negative profit. This is primarily because of personnel expenses, which include salaries and
the cost of sales for sub-contractors.
