Pavers have a lot of the same problems as other construction related businesses have, finding and retaining great employees. Most of the jobs available in the paving industry require skills and experience.

When a Paving company makes an investment in equipment and human resources and becomes successful, it's necessary to keep the equipment and people moving from one paving project to the next without delays. Anything that comes up on a job that is non-standard, or out of the ordinary can cause costly delays.
