Non-Stop's New Workhorse
Non-Stop's new WORKHORSE is a light weight elevating scaffolding for interior partitions and 1-story veneer up to 20 feet high. It costs about one-third of Heavy-Duty scaffolding.
When the Block Stops, the Money Stops
By Justin Breithaupt, Jr.
The obvious and not-so-obvious benefits of elevated scaffolding.
"WHEN THE BLOCK STOPS, THE MONEY STOPS." THAT'S THE WAY ONE MASON CONTRACTOR PUT IT, and he hit the nail right on the head. On the flip side, if your men work faster than you estimated, you spend less money on labor (and still get paid the bid price), and the leftover labor money is yours to keep. Just a little extra production returns a whole lot of extra profit. Only about one in 20 mason contractors really understands how much profit, and understanding it explains how a person can keep taking jobs below his competitor's cost and stay in business.
