Managing a Profitable Jobsite
The author covers all the issues that influence a profitable masonry jobsite such as: Man Hours & General Requirement Costs, Productivity and Profit, Communication, Planning & Scheduling, Worker Skills & Training, Leadership, Job Cost & Field Reporting, and Change Orders.
Estate Planning Without Pain
Very few masonry contractors want to think about what will happen to their business after their passing, let alone plan for it. Fortunately, Congress has taken pity on those contractors who fail to take the steps necessary to ensure that the masonry operation will pass to the desired beneficiaries with a minimum of tax bills.
Thin Wall Masonry Construction
From the beginning of Stone Henge from 4000 years ago or the Great Wall of China 2000 years ago or the old St. Benedictine monastery in Ireland, 1200 AD, stone and masonry were used as a definition of civilization.
Jobsite Equipment Rental
The explosive growth of the equipment rental industry demonstrates that increasing numbers of contractors are considering the advantages of renting job-site equipment.
Masonry Class Project Becomes Jobsite
Read how a cooperative effort with Brick Distributors of Wisconsin and Wisconsin Technical College helped to build a successful training facility to solve projected industry labor shortage.
