Does Your Field Time Card Work For You?
To make more money, you must track and keep updated accurate job costs.
What Should Your Overhead Mark-Up Include?
Your role as a leader is less about what you do and more about what your people do; people want to follow leaders who trust them and give out accountability and responsibility.
How To Make Your Employees Accountable and Responsible
By not hiring additional administrative, project management, estimating or supervisory help, construction business owners spend too much time on menial tasks that could be handled by other employees.
Don't Be Afraid of Hiring the Wrong Person
Manage the job, be more pro-active, help the customer and managing the contract are all strategies contractors can use to help wow the customer.
How Contractors Can Wow a Customer
Leadership is not about being in charge and doing the work; it is about getting results through people and developing trust in your employees.
Let Them Go and Watch Them Grow
Profit-Driven construction company owners and managers focus on profitable projects, customers, and services. These give you a high return on your assets, time and energy.
Why Contractors Should Be Profit Not Volume-Driven
Outline each system on one piece of paper, written or drawn detailing a picture of the end result desired to meet your company, customer or project specification.
You Can't Do It All Yourself - Incorporate Written Systems
Start every project with a plan for success, and communicate that plan to all team members involved.
Start Every Project On Target
Providing 40 hours of training per year for every employee would require a total cost less than 2% of your payroll cost, and your return can be a 5%e to 10% improvement in bottom-line productivity.
Too Busy to Train?
The majority of contractors do not have specific written targets for all areas of their businesses, but those that do can be twice as likely to succeed.
Aim for Specific Project Goals
Companies that track costs, target profit, control overhead and watch what they keep are in-control, organized and one-step ahead of their competition.
