Sure-Fire Business Blueprints
That Give You a Business Advantage
The following three business models are taken from Chapter 1 of Construction Management Excellence.
They are the building plans and specifications for the structure of a successful contracting business. Use them to gain your business advantage.
Business Product Model
A construction Business Product includes nine business Elements:
1. Owner/Leader
2. Finance
3. Legal
4. Marketing
5. Employees/Subcontractors
6. Projects/Production
7. Estimate
8. Sales
9. Administration
Every contracting business uses each Element in some form, even a one-person operation. That person has to do it all. If a contracting company does not deal with each element in the course of its operations, it will not likely succeed over any length of time. Through the process of checking your business structure and process against this model, you can eliminate the factors that cause most contracting companies to fail.
The new Advantage Contractor™ book, Construction Management Excellence, takes these Elements one chapter at a time and carefully demonstrates how they work together to produce a successful and profitable company.
Flow-Of-Work Model
All construction projects begin with a sales lead of some kind and should finish up with a project analysis. In between are all of the processes the company goes through to make the customer happy and willing to pay on time for the project. The result is a Business Product of high quality that is done on time and on budget.
This Model is clearly described in graphic form in Construction Management Excellence. You can take the Flow-Of-Work Model and use it to construct the process your company will use to get leads and work to a successfully completed project.
Performance Groups
People do all of the work in a contracting company. Many of the people have to work together to make the work flow through the company and produce a successful business product. The Owner, all staff in the office, all people doing production, and any subcontractors, suppliers, and inspectors involved with the project have to move in the same direction for best results.
Construction Management Excellence helps you in setting up your Performance Groups for the greatest productivity and profitability.
