60 61 INVESTING IN THE FUTURE Going forward,Cawood reports that the company’s strategy is tomaintain solid relationships with existing clients,and growth; primarily in regions where,here- tofore,the companyhas onlygained a toehold.“Texas is going to be a primary focus for growth,”he asserts. “We’rewell known throughout North Carolina and Florida,the regions wherewe’ve been for awhile.But inTexas,wewant to expand our presence.If you look at the population,simplyof themetroplexof Hous- ton andDallas,combined–that’s 15million people. So,there is a significant potential for growth inTexas. Right now,we provide onlygeomatics services inTexas, but we count on bringing our other business units to the state soon.”The company’s other business units includeWater; Planning and LandDevelopment; and Building,Energyand Infrastructure. Long-term,McKim&Creed is developing a new strategicplan to carry it through 2025.“We had a 2015-2020 plan to double the company’s revenue,and we’re actuallyahead of that target,”Cawood says.“So, nowwe’re looking at our 2025 Plan.I suspect,without knowing any details,we’ll plan on doubling again.” Expanding the company footprint will also be part of the new plan, and Texas, Virginia, and Georgia are all on the table.“We will expand in areas where we can share resources.This is another one of our key factors to success. As a company,we like to branch out instead of leap out.” Throughout its 40-year history,McKim& Creed has seen itself as more than an engineering and geomatics firm.“Collecting and analyzing data is just part of what we do,”Cawood explains.We are actu- ally in the business of solving problems, discovering solutions, and making life just a little better wherev- er we can.” Providing a safe, modern office environment for world-class engineers 4711 Properties, LLC Charlotte As a strategic partner/supplier, we are pleased to work closely with McKim & Creed to select equipment that provides the best solution for their clients.
