“Having worked for many of our competitors, the biggest differentiators of Southland are the fact that we self-perform a huge portion of the work (thus avoiding stacked markups) and we have a stunning range and depth of technical expertise across the company into which the Energy group can tap. Connected Solutions isn’t just a marketing slogan; by leveraging ALL of the divisions, Southland Energy can create solutions that are simply better than our competitors, done at lower cost. It’s a powerful value proposition.”
