“I’m focused on sales, budgeting, and client relationships,” Stein explains. “The people in the office are doing the heavy lifting on estimating, project management, construction, and design. I’d like to step back more over the next five years. We’re setting the company up so it keeps growing and delivering the same level of service with or without me.” That growth is already underway. Craft’s annual volume has climbed 10 to 20 percent in recent years, driven by repeat work and referrals. The company is also being selective about the type and size of projects it pursues. Instead of doing 40 or 50 projects per year, they’d prefer to do 30 higher-value projects, and they are working now on making that shift. “The important thing is we continue to grow organically,” Stein concludes. “As long as we focus on doing the right thing for clients and providing them the best value, we know the growth will take care of itself.” APRIL 2026
