Overview:

This seminar defines the three major resources (labor, materials, and equipment) and their cost to the contractor. We then dive into each of them separately and explore tips for its efficient utilization. We discuss labor cost including add-ons (taxes, insurance, fringe benefits) and overtime. We discuss equipment cost, ownership and operating. We discuss crew productivity and its impact on cost and schedule. We also discuss materials management including cost categories for materials and the balance between the “just-in-time” and “inventory buffer” theories.

Why you should Attend:

Operating profitably is the bottom line for any contractor. The bulk of the contractor’s expense comes from the three basic resources: labor, materials, and equipment. This seminar explains the methods to manage each of these categories for optimizing the cost.
