Question

Construction In Oregon...


Is there any?? Mike and I have contemplated moving there and trying to get as much info. as possible. I guess first thing first would be to get info on how to transfer/get his GC there and then worry about what comes next. We have just found that there are no jobs to be found here in N. Cali. and to be honest (not in our nearby areas anyway)... it's getting old already Our reason for choosing Oregon would be because we have family there and would love to be near them, just don't know how the industry is up there. Anyone have an answer to that? I am hoping to hear "Yes", but the pessimist that I am... I am ill prepared for the big 'ol "Nope.. no work"!

Re: Construction In Oregon...


well.... it depends what part of the state you are looking at. Pdx and Eugene have some stuff going on, Bend, not so much. Actually, nothing in Bend.
The other thing, And not trying to be a downer here, but check on insurance ( Liability and such) before coming, as there are very few underwriters who will take on Cali GC's.
All in all , not the best time to roll north. But best of luck to you.
