Commercial Development Limits: Applying Law of the Minimum / by Guest User

Liebig's Law of the Minimum is an agricultural principle designed to illustrate that crops can only grow up to their scarcest resource. Imagine a Barrel with Staves (slats) of different sizes. The water level can never exceed the lowest stave, no matter how much you put in, water pours out at the level of the lowest stave.

This principle can be also applied to development projects. Think of the water as time and resources. When you have many vendors (staves) working on a project, the success of the entire project is based on the quality of all the vendors and how well they work together. This is why our business model produces the best outcomes for our development partners.

During any design build project, the responsibilities stretch in many directions. You have to make a very conscious choice of who is going to take your project from A to Z with ease. Conflicts will arise, as they do in most cases, but we believe it’s how problems are solved that makes the difference.
