Achieving Operational Excellence
March 8-9, 2012 | Orlando, Fla. |
 |
Summary
There is nothing like improving your productivity and operational performance to significantly improve your competitiveness and bottom line.As a subcontractor, specialty contractor, road builder or self-performing general contractor, the difference between a successful project and a losing project is your ability to effectively manage labor. For many construction companies, field labor represents the largest, single controllable cost and, therefore, the largest potential opportunity to impact the bottom line.
Are you a self-performing contractor who is:
- seeing fewer work opportunities, more competition and tighter margins?
- having difficulty competing?
- experiencing margin erosion?
- overrunning your project labor budgets?
- facing inconsistencies in how projects are managed?
