Mon, 11 Mar 2024 08:43:21 GMT

This seminar aims to address the challenges faced by contractors in estimating labor costs accurately. It identifies common issues that can affect workforce productivity: working out of sequence, delays caused by other trades, and congested work areas. These challenges can lead to inefficiencies and increased costs for contractors.

Are you struggling to establish or estimate costs associated with your workforce due to:

· Being forced to perform work out of sequence

· Other trades being unable to perform their work on time

· Your workers being forced to work in congested areas by others and/or materials

By participating in the Seminar, attendees will learn how to leverage this valuable resource to communicate effectively with general contractors and construction managers. This knowledge will enable contractors to articulate the tangible impacts of these events on their projects and make informed decisions to optimize productivity and profitability.

The Presenter:

Terry Kastner, Wall and Ceiling Consulting Services, who began working in the construction industry in 1983, will present an informative seminar on the impact variables commonly experienced by the wall and ceiling contractor and the corresponding tables noting the severity of the impact and the mathematical formulas for estimating the cost of those impacts.

Overall, the seminar offers a valuable opportunity for contractors to enhance their understanding of labor productivity challenges and learn practical strategies for addressing them effectively in their projects.

Contractor discussions and networking opportunities to build your professional network.
Labor management discussions and updates with international union leadership.
Information on separating your business from your competitors to secure more work.
Specialized trade discussions.
The latest pension updates and their impact on the signatory construction industry.
The latest industry economic data that impacts your business.
An update on the latest legislative issues that impact signatory contractors.
and more!

Customers and potential customers all want the answer to a common question: why should we sign a contract with you? Author and speaker Gerry O’Brion (owner of “What Big Brands Know”) is coming to the Signatory Contractors’ Conference to help signatory contractors refine their messaging and secure more work.

Why do customers care about price so much? Because the lower the price, the better it is for them. Clients and potential clients choose to work with organizations that bring them the most value. By effectively communicating your value in terms of what the customer is looking for, you can convince customers that the cheapest price isn’t always the right answer.

With O’Brion’s “Because Framework,” contractors learn how to identify what they’re doing that makes their customers successful, and how to refine their messaging through the lens of what customers want from their subcontractors.
