Improving Your Contracting Firm
The Construction Industry demands that contractors constantly improve. If a contractor chooses not to, he or she will be penalized with less work and more headaches to build that work.
Any improvement program is based on change. That is, where we are now we like to leave behind. We currently are point A and would like to go to point B. A current productivity level is point A. This is what we expect, this what we know, it is dependable. Some people in your organization have the attitude that this is all that is possible, there is really no great leap we can make without extra people, expensive technology or to use an outsource (at a cost). They feel there are no real opportunities to make thing run faster with the same amount of accuracy.
