COMPANY PROFILE
"That experience taught me the most valuable lesson I ever learned as a mason contractor: In any given job, the labor number is huge compared to the profit number - almost five or 10 times higher. If you reduce your labor a little, like 20 percent, you will double or triple your profit. Now, you can't do the job with fewer men, so you have to do it faster, by putting in more units in a day. You get paid the bid price either way, so if you do a 100-day job in 80 days, 20 days of payroll for the whole crew goes in your pocket."

Shortly thereafter, tower scaffolding was introduced and it provided Breithaupt with another opportunity to increase his profits.
"It saved me a lot of money-my production went way up," he said. "The problem was my men hated it and said they wouldn't work on it again. The good part was that it showed me exactly what I wanted in my next tower scaffolding, because I knew I would never be without it again."
