SWOT
ANALYSIS
EXTERNAL & INTERNAL ANALYSIS:
Global Construction Company can learn a lot from conducting a SWOT
analysis. Combining the internal attributes of a company with the external constraints
of the marketplace paints a stark picture of where companies stand at any given
moment. While the four major
features of a SWOT analysis are strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats , these features signify much more. Our strengths
and weaknesses are internal factors; our opportunities and threats are external
factors and measures.
INTERNAL ANALYSIS:
·
Strengths
Global construction
company’s strengths can come from a number of different avenues. Construction
is an industry where efficiency and staying on schedule is particularly prized, having strong project management skills is a
strength. So is a strong brand name, given that construction tends to be an
expensive field to enter. Our company has a diversified array of projects and
expertise, that provides a cushion against a slowdown in any one particular
sector, which is definitely a strength By providing
the highest-quality product and service, Our business reputation improves. Our
workforce, or human resources, enables us to create the best product as we can.
In addition, our and attention to our clients needs. These things make up the
first set of internal factors to consider in our SWOT analysis.
·
Weaknesses
If too much of a construction company’s business
is with any one client or in any one particular geographic area
, that leaves it vulnerable to a slowdown. A company specializing in
remodeling homes may be in trouble in a market where more people are eager to
buy, while companies that rely on constructing new homes face challenges in cooler
markets where people stay put. If our company is lacking a key team member or
skill, that puts it at a comparative disadvantage. Also, if the company
promotes its managers based on their on-the-job expertise, it may leave the
company in an inferior position to rivals with a more professional management
team. EXTERNAL ANALYSIS:

Opportunities
Many companies find that adding a new division
and leveraging existing operations can leave them in position for more work. In
addition, opportunities can emerge by using our business expertise to
anticipate consumer trends. For example, if our anticipate that our area is
going to emphasize public transportation and mixed-use neighborhoods, we can
win a lot of work by developing expertise in building that kind of housing
close to a subway or train station. The technique for identifying opportunities
encompasses finding markets, partnerships, products or services that we
actually can pursue. Claiming an opportunity overseas that we can’t really
pursue does not help us plan for the future. A good rule of thumb for making
sure we identify real opportunities is to count only the ones for which we have
a phone number. If we know of someone we could call to pursue a new
opportunity, then chances are the opportunity is real.
·
Threats
For a construction company, some threats may be
beyond our control, such as an industry slowdown caused by difficult economic
times. Others external threats may expose an internal weakness. For example, in
a buyers' market, those wishing to procure construction services may treat the
purchase like something they'd buy from an Internet deal website, using the
technology at their fingertips to gather multiple bids and drive profit margins
down. If our cost structure is higher than our rivals, that combination of
customer initiative and market dynamics is a major threat to our ability to
compete for business. Changing market preferences can also be a threat. If our
core business is building assisted living facilities in a market where seniors
increasingly are looking to remain independent as long as possible, our units
are going to be less popular than senior housing facilities with amenities like
larger bathrooms and easy access to restaurants and shopping.
