When you see very tall buildings, what do you think of?
You may think of what kind of business is running through that structure? Can it withstand strong winds, earthquakes, and storms that long? How much money did it take to build it? How long was the construction time? These are only some of the questions that might go through your head when you see such majestic structures. But have you ever thought of the hard work and the various workers involved in building them?
The sky or the heavens have always intrigued man. With his insatiable and inherent curiosity, he devised of a means to reach up higher than anyone has ever done, with the hope that he may finally see what lies behind those clouds and infinite blue horizon. Thus, skyscrapers were born. As of this very day, the tallest sky scraper is called Burj Khalifa in Dubai. It’s double the height of the Empire State Building and is said to be 2, 717 feet tall.
Skyscrapers add drama and art to the skyline. They also exhibit man’s skill, knowledge, and ingenuity. With the beauty and magnificence that these structures give so many cities, it is only appropriate that they, too, have a day of celebration. Skyscraper Day is on September 3rd. Why don’t you join the others in climbing the very top of the tallest skyscraper in your city on that very day and marvel at the view that only the birds get to enjoy everyday?
These skyscrapers are built not only to decorate cityscapes. It is also one of the answers to the scarcity of space in the cities. People flock to these highly urbanized areas to find better paying jobs or to establish themselves and their businesses. Space is very valuable and very expensive, which is why skyscrapers are necessary to be had.
Businesses behind Skyscrapers
In the making and maintenance of these tall structures, various contractors are hired. They may either be given private or public contracts to get the job done but bottom line is that they are small businesses that perform specialized tasks to erect the building. Contracting small businesses to provide products and services in the construction of these skyscrapers takes a lot of discernment and screening. This is where procurement plays a big role in making big things happen. In a successful skyscraper construction, the small business contractors earn a lot of good publicity and eventually, a larger client pool. Procuring products and services from smaller companies enables the agencies and companies to save on labor and materials. It would definitely be a huge break for any small company to participate in the construction of these buildings.
