09/22/09 – Getting Better

As I am, you are probably hopeful our industry will be getting better some day soon.  For now, realistically, the powerful (in Washington D.C.) are just not interested in our concerns; they will likely feign more concern next year, as the mid-term elections draw closer.  In the meantime, smart contractors are getting better prepared for the future.

You may say, now is the time to hunker down.  I empathize; you may be right.  However, in the interest of emerging victorious someday, now is definitely the time to get prepared for what happens next.

In 2010, my takeoff and estimating service marks its 25th anniversary.  I have prepared thousands of successful wall and ceiling bids for hundreds of wall and ceiling contractors, both large and small.  Eventually, most of my clients attend my takeoff and estimating classes and/or buy my software, thus becoming largely self-sufficient; because of this, I continually seek new clients.

I would sincerely appreciate an opportunity to work with you.  Here are three ways you can choose to strengthen your business now:

• Professional Consulting Services – Accurate takeoffs and estimates will help support your business.
• Small Group or Private Training – Learn the most effective, accurate takeoff and estimating methods.
• Specialty Trade Construction Data – Get the very best software available for our industry – at the best price.

The best way to get jobs is clear: base your bids on accurate takeoffs and estimates.

Today, you can start using your takeoff & estimating resources more effectively.

You can bid faster… and more accurately.
