Live from the Rockwool studios, Matt talks with Brian Long to explore the challenges and advancements in the custom home building industry. They emphasize the need for higher standards in construction, including licensing for general contractors and increased education through trade schools. Their conversation highlights strategies to compete against lower-cost builders by focusing on detailed budgets, premium materials, and superior waterproofing, offering long-term value to clients. Matt and Brian delve into the importance of proper budgeting, explaining how missing line items, such as rain screens or high-end windows, often lead to underestimated costs.

Today we were thrilled to be joined by Sean McGarvey, President of North America's Building Trades Unions (NABTU), to discuss a critical topic: the nation's energy workforce. Sean was elected to his position as President in 2012 and first started his building trades career with the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades in 1981. In addition to his role at NABTU, Sean serves on several private and public sector boards and co-chairs labor-management committees of the American Petroleum Institute, Southern Company, and the Nuclear Power LMCC. NABTU represents over three million skilled craft professionals in the US and Canada and offers robust apprenticeship and training programs. We have been eager to discuss the future of the energy workforce for some time and appreciate Sean sharing his unique perspectives with us. In our conversation, Sean first shares background on NABTU and their areas of concentration including relationships with local developers and contractors, legislation, regulatory issues, training, and national committees. We discuss the union's role in the construction industry, the future of skilled labor in the US, differences between union and non-union bids for large construction projects, the implications of the IRA and other recent legislation on union labor in energy projects, the current main concerns for NABTU members, and how recent legislation has impacted prevailing wages and labor standards in the construction industry (additional information on the Davis-Bacon act linked here and on the recent prevailing wage guidance linked here). Sean shares his perspective on NABTU's relationships with international companies as well as their responsible investing efforts, the impact of large projects on the overall workforce availability and mobility, the role of nuclear energy and power demand projects in the US, the main economic concerns of NABTU members, permitting and regulatory challenges, and the role unions play in shaping legislation related to energy, infrastructure, and labor. Another key topic we cover is the training and apprenticeship programs NABTU offers, totaling over 280,000 students and representing over half of the apprenticeships in the country. We talked with Sean about the choice between college and developing a skill/trade. He commented their programs often allow for the completion of degree credits while learning the trade skills, and also shared that some college graduates are joining their training programs after getting their college degrees. As we discussed young people, one particular observation he made that resonated was “you can make $150K a year and have no college debt.” We ended by asking Sean for his thoughts on the current presidential election, potential changes under a different administration, and policy and legislative concerns. It was a wide-ranging discussion. Mike Bradley kicked us off by highlighting that there could be some fireworks in the bond market this Thursday and Friday when CPI & PPI report. On the crude oil front, WTI price rallied over the last week or so due to substantial DOE crude oil draws last week but has pulled back slightly this week on relief that Hurricane Beryl hasn't resulted in much oil/natural gas infrastructure damage. On the equity market front, he noted that broader markets continue posting new highs. On the energy equity front, he highlighted that energy was the worst performing S&P sector last week and that it would probably continue to be rangebound until investors get more comfortable with the forward global commodity macro. He also noted recent E&P consolidation and noted the likelihood of mor

Ever had a colossal blunder on your hands that resulted in a rooftop unit curb adapter not fitting the new unit? Well, that was us. Join us as we dissect this recent debacle, from our oversight of not getting the spec sheet for the curb adapter, to dealing with a reversed supply and return situation. We'll share some hard-learned lessons on the importance of acquiring the right information beforehand, and how a simple mistake can quickly escalate into a logistical nightmare. Moving onto delivery issues, we came across a surprise when a rooftop unit arrived earlier than expected, and had been opened even before delivery. Throw in a poorly packaged boiler to the mix, and you have a recipe for frustration. But there's always a silver lining in these experiences. We'll share how these predicaments reinforced the necessity of equipment verification, preventive measures, and the significance of addressing such issues head-on to prevent them from recurring. So tune in, as we share our experiences and the lessons we've learned from these recent challenges in the field.Send us your feedback or topic ideas over on our social channels!Eric Aune @mechanicalhub Andy Mickelson @mick_plumbCheck out our website: mechanical-hub.com

Welcome to  the Grit Nation podcast, I'm Joe Cadwell and in this episode I have the pleasure of speaking with logger, blacksmith, carpenter, and internet sensation Scott Wadsworth.  Better known to over 1 million YouTube followers as the Essential Craftsman, Scott, together with his son Nate, have created a wealth of entertaining and educational videos designed to help anyone interested in learning more about blue-collar craft skills. Scotts laid back, straight shooting, and down to earth demeaner resonates well both on and off camera and I found this interview to be truly enjoyable. We'll start our conversation by learning how Scott got involved in the building trades over 4 decades ago and what he believes some of the bigger industry changes and challenges have been. Next, Scott will share details of individuals he has met as a professional builder and what characteristics and attributes they possessed that made them so memorable and influential in his life. Later, we'll dig into the concept of “workmanship of risk vs. workmanship of certainty” and why a healthy balance of both is needed both on and off the job to achieve a career and life, full of meaning and reward. We'll then discuss why now more than ever a career as a building trades professional can produce the same or greater socio-economic gains as a college degree and investigate some of the factors responsible for shifting this paradigm.  And we'll wrap up our conversation by discussing what it means to be a Craftsman and why Scott's definition of success doesn't rely solely on how many digits you have in your savings account.The Show Notes The Essential Craftsmanhttps://essentialcraftsman.com/The Essential Craftsman Podcasthttps://essentialcraftsman.com/podcastGrit Nation Host Interview on The Essential Craftsman Podcasthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MprNsllxr-g&t=1224sDavid Pye- The Nature and Art of Workmanshiphttps://www.amazon.com/Nature-Art-Workmanship-David-Pye/dp/0713689315The Yankee Screwdriverhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yankee_screwdriverThe Show NotesGrit Nation  Webpagehttps://www.gritnationpodcast.comWin Grit Nation Merchhttps://mailchi.mp/c28da31260b8/grit-nation-podcast-sign-up-pageEmail comments or suggestions to:joe@gritnationpodcast.comGrit Nation is a proud member of the Labor Radio / Podcast Networkhttps://www.laborradionetwork.org/  NW Carpenters Union United Brotherhood of Carpenters, Regional Council in the Pacific NW 6 states + 29k members strong!!Union Home Plus Union Home Plus helps union members save money when they buy, sell, or finance their home.

This week on TCR Express we do a deep dive on the federal budget with digital media editor Warren Frey speaking with Journal of Commerce staff writer Russell Hixson and Daily Commercial News staff writers Angela Gismondi and Don Wall about what they covered as deputy prime minister and finance minister Chrystia Freeland unveiled her plans for Canada's economy last week in the House of Commons. Russell detailed how the budget addressed strengthening British Columbia's supply chains given how they were adversely affected by disastrous flooding and landslides last year, as well as funding for de-risking of domestic mineral extraction. He also noted there was little talk of fossil fuel projects and a heavy concentration on green energy initiatives. Angela concentrated on talking to national associations for their reaction to the budget and said the government's financial plan got both positive and negative takes from the Canadian Construction Association, Canada's Building Trades, and the Mechanical Contractors Association of Canada.

Welcome to Grit Nation. On this episode I have the pleasure of speaking with Dan Kerrigan the author of Functional Firefighter Fitness.Though written for firefighters this book is packed full of solid advice to help you maximize your output on the job no matter what your trade is.We'll open our conversation by discussing what it means to be “fit for duty” as we investigate the similarities construction industry professionals share with other craft that rely not only on their cognitive abilities to get the job done but their physicality too.Next Dan will explain how Physical Fitness, Rest and Recovery, Hydration and Nutrition make up the Four Pillars of his program, and why it is so important to master each one to achieve optimal health and peak performance.Later we unpack the BIG 8 and understand why spending hours in the gym isn't necessary to achieve the muscular endurance, cardio conditioning and flexibility that keep your body healthy and strong.And we'll end our conversation by giving you the resources needed to make proper lifestyle decisions now that will allow you to maximize output, minimize injuries, and set you up for success into your later years.

Welcome to Grit Nation, The Building Trades Podcast. On today's episode I will be talking with returning guest, Frank Manzo, from the Illinois Economic Policy Institute. This time around Frank and I discuss building trades apprenticeships.We'll start our conversation by looking into how the Illinois Economic Policy Institute gathers the data needed to create fair, unbiased, and fact-based comparisons of apprenticeship programs across the US.Next, we'll unpack how employer funded non-union apprenticeships stack up against member supported union programs. And why a graduate of a non-union apprenticeship earns on average18,000 dollars less per year than their union counterpart.Later, we'll discuss the numerous similarities in income earning potential, diversity and inclusion rates, as well as other socio-economic outcomes when Frank juxtaposes a building trades journey level certification earned from a union apprentice program to that of a traditional 4-year college degree.And we'll finish our conversation by learning why states with strong union apprentice programs, in addition to prevailed wage laws have worksites that are more productive, safer, and are better value for the taxpayer.This episode shines a bright light on the many misconceptions surrounding careers in the blue-collar trades and redefines what it means to have a degree that can't be easily outsourced and will provide a pathway to professional and financial success in the working middle-class of America and Canada.The Show NotesIllinois Economic policy Institutehttps://illinoisepi.org/Great video with Frank talking about apprenticeshipshttps://youtu.be/BhULgiZmG7gGrit Nation  Webpagehttps://www.gritnationpodcast.comJoin the Grit Nation MVP Teamhttps://mailchi.mp/c28da31260b8/grit-nation-podcast-sign-up-pageFollow Grit Nation on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/gritnationpodcast/Grit Nation YouTube Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCy-gSacdByjCCec1KeWDJgwLeave a Review on Podchaserhttps://www.podchaser.com/GritNationEmail comments or suggestions to:joe@gritnationpodcast.comGrit NW is a proud member of the Labor Radio / Podcast Networkhttps://www.laborradionetwork.org/  NW Carpenters Union United Brotherhood of Carpenters, Regional Council in the Pacific NW 6 states + 29k members strong!!Union Home Plus Union Home Plus helps union members save money when they buy, sell, or finance their home.

Welcome to Grit Nation, The Building Trades Podcast.I'm Joe Cadwell the writer, producer, and host of the show and on today's episode I will be looking into the origins and mission of the largest residential career training program in the United States, the Job Corps. Since 1964 the Job Corps has assisted over 2 million people between the ages of 16 and 24 in finding meaningful careers, in fields as varied as construction, the culinary arts and homeland security. To assist me in better understanding this program, I have invited two Job Corps instructors onto the show, Rich Evanuik and Tizzy Snelson.  We'll open our conversation by understanding the origins of the Job Corps and who the typical Job Corps student is.Next, we'll investigate the “hard skills” which are taught at Job Corps facilities and how Tizzy and Rich are able to overcome social, educational and generational barriers to better connect with their students.Later we'll unpack the relationship the United Brotherhood of Carpenters has with the Jobs Corps and why this collaboration is so important in meeting the workforce demands of a booming economy, and how the Job Corps graduates are part of the equation in filling the ever-widening skills gap in the building trades.  And we'll end our conversation by learning how those interested in the Job Corps can turn the skills and education they receive into a career and future they can be proud of.The Show NotesJob Corps Websitehttps://www.jobcorps.gov/Grit Nation YouTube Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCy-gSacdByjCCec1KeWDJgwGrit NW webpagehttps://Buildnw.org/podcastFollow Grit Nation on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/gritnationpodcast/Email comments or suggestions to:GritNW@gmail.comGrit NW is a proud member of the Labor Radio / Podcast Networkhttps://www.laborradionetwork.org/ Union Home Plus Union Home Plus helps union members save money when they buy, sell, or finance their home.

 Hi, Joe Cadwell here, the writer producer and host of Grit Nation. Next week's episode drops on the 10th taking but I wanted to get out a trailer for some highlights of upcoming season four.But before I do though, I want to take a moment to reflect on the show.If asked what I like most about hosting a podcast, I would have to say getting to talk with some really interesting folks is at the top.For example, last season alone I had the pleasure of speaking with industry leaders, authors, and innovators like - Brian Bogert, Ken Rusk, Jamie McCallum, Joann Greeley, Patrick Town and the three Mark's - Torres, McDermott and Martinez. Their insight, wisdom, and perspective really delivered. I hope you agree.Season 4 promises to be a strong one as well.For example, my interview with New York Times contributor and  author of Dirty Work - Essential Jobs and the Hidden Toll of Inequality in America, Eyal Press is going to be a great one.Eyal and I discuss occupations that often takes place in the shadows of society.From workers on the “kill floors” of industrial slaughterhouses to drone pilots who carry out targeted assassinations, his book Dirty Work, digs deep into the nature of morally questionable work and the mental strain it places on those who perform it.In another season 4 release, I talk with award-winning journalist, Katrina Onstad, about her book, The Weekend Effect – which addresses;The life-changing benefits of taking time off and challenging the cult of overwork.  Katrina and I will discuss organized labor's role in establishing the 2-day weekend and why it is so important to protect these sacred 48 hours.This is just a sampling of what's to come. Please be sure to like, subscribe, or follow the show so you won't miss an episode. And oh yeah, share it to with someone you think may get something out of it.You may have noticed the show went through a bit rebranding recently. What originally started as a regional show highlighting carpenters in the Pacific NW has grown in size and scope and is now listened to nationally and internationally.So regardless if you're a carpenter, iron worker, plumber, electrician, laborer or work in a specialized craft, our futures as the builders of infrastructure and generational wealth is something to be proud of.As always, the mission of this podcast is to shine a positive light on those who choose to do the tough, dirty, overlooked and often underappreciated work that keeps the gears of society turning.As 2022 begins, but my promise to you is to continue provide quality, informative, and thought-provoking content that is beneficial to your life and career. So that's it. I hope you have a start to the new year. And until next time remember to:Be safe, be kind and stay union strong.

What will it take to fix our broken immigration system?  It's a contentious, highly partisan issue U.S. lawmakers have grappled with for decades.  And it's one that is deeply personal to this week's guest on Our Voices Matter podcast.Stan Marek has spent the last 30 years working with local, state and national leaders to find a sensible solution to immigration reform.The Human Face of ImmigrationMuch of that time is spent putting a human face on those at the center of the storm.  Fathers, mothers and children — thousands of whom he has employed through the years as President and CEO of Marek Construction.It is their faces that drive Stan to work across deep political divides.It is their stories that drive him to seek a fair resolution to immigration reform for Americans and immigrants, including the millions who live and work in the shadows.The Rational MiddleBeyond his work in the political arena, Marek has put his support behind documentary filmmakers at The Rational Middle.  The award-winning documentary and podcast series examines controversial topics, including immigration, “ensuring that the information brought to bear is accurate and surrounded by the proper context, while presenting reasonable arguments and rejecting extremist rhetoric.”Marek is also the co-author of a new book, “Deconstructed: An Insider's View of Illegal Immigration and the Building Trades”.Immigrant RootsStan's passion is rooted in his own immigrant story, which he shares in our conversation.  He also offers his top three suggestions for reforming our broken system in a manner that recognizes the humanity of those who are seeking a better life.It's painfully clear that there are no easy answers. In fact, Stan worries that “people have given up on immigration.  They're just waiting to see what happens next.  But I can't give up.  I've got all these employees who have families…and I can't give up for the kids…”We can't give up either, Stan.  The voices of those kids and their families matter.  So let's keep this conversation going until we find a solution that works for everyone.www.ourvoicesmatterpodcast.comwww.lorellemedia.comThis podcast is devoted to empowering us all to better understand each other's differences...one story at a time.  Emmy Award-winning journalist, Linda Lorelle, guides guests through insightful, unexpected conversations that reveal our common humanity.  This show is not about politics per se; it is about finding a way to reclaim civility in the context of the contentious times in which we live, by sharing our personal and professional stories, in hopes that others might find a glimpse of themselves.Support the show (http://patreon.com/OurVoicesMatterPodcast)

In this episode, Matt describes his journey to becoming a building trades instructor. Matt and Mark talk about the home-building program at Taylorville High School, a typical day in the life of a building trades student, and the various types of people that sign up for Matt's class.

On today's episode I speak with Frank Manzo from the Illinois Economic Policy Institute. We will start our conversation by understanding how Frank teamed up with academics at Oregon State University to co-author his report on the effect Prevailed Wage laws have on taxpayer funded construction projects in the state of Oregon.    We will then look into some of the falsehoods that circulate around prevailed wage projects as we uncover the fact-based truths that empirical data and research can provide.Later we'll unpack how employing skilled labor that is paid a livable wage, not only, does not raise construction cost, but can actually work to lower the cost of building projects while creating strong ties and advancement opportunities within the local community.And we will finish our conversation when Frank shares his thoughts as to how apprenticeship programs are crucial in bridging the ever-widening skills gap that is growing in our nation.This episode shines a light on many of the misconceptions about what paying skilled trades professionals a fair wage and benefits can mean. It also addresses the importance of awareness and understanding that carpenters must have when electing state officials who make career enhancing or ending decisions, such as Prevailed Wage and Right to Work laws.

In this post-COVID era, builders are actually faced with a ton of work, however, due to certain supply chain challenges, they aren't exactly able to deliver on some of the promises they'd like to make to clients. On this episode of The Build Podcast, Matt gets real about the issues he's facing, along with plenty of other industry professionals. From products delivery delays to being unable to find basic supplies on the shelves at stores to cost increases, the climate is becoming a difficult one to navigate. When materials aren't there, it's hard to make money—and this affects all layers of the building process. Think about, for example, the electricians that work with you. If you're not making progress on jobs, work slows for them too. And that's just one example. Matt also tackles some of the other issues experienced right now such as automotive and even pool builder issues. Listen in for some builder therapy!

In this podcast, Jeff talks about implications, and challenges about labor organizing in building trades.

Randy Beall, Business Manager for the Atlanta North Georgia Building Trades Council and 33-year veteran sheet metal union member, joins Talkin' Trades to discuss the role of ANGBTC in the community, in promoting business opportunities in the trades, and political issues facing the union trades on Capitol Hill.

We also discuss the new upcoming project called "The Gulch" in Atlanta, the idea of casino gambling in Georgia, the local skilled trades unions role in building the new Teamsters building as a 100% union job, the Georgia Building Trades Academy Youth Build Program and more.

141 Report: Walt Ingram, Union Sportsmen Alliance “If you're a Machinist and you love the outdoors, the Union Sportsmen Alliance is the place for you to be,” says Walt Ingram, Director of Union Relations for the Union Sportsmen Alliance. Formed in 2007 by a group of charter union affiliates, including Machinists, Steelworkers, and Building Trades members, the Union Sportsmen Alliance's mission is to “unite the union community through conservation to preserve North America's outdoor heritage.” Walt explains how the group provides opportunities for members to build relationships and become more engaged with their union away from the workplace. It is also a tool for union leadership to get to know members “on their level,” doing activities they enjoy outside of work. “Many Machinists Union members care about the outdoors and engage in outdoor activities like hunting, fishing, hiking, and are engaged in activities to preserve the environment,” he says. USA hosts several Conservation Dinners every year to raise funds for their community outreach program, Work Boots on the Ground, which has completed hundreds of infrastructure projects around the country that provide access to the outdoors regardless of ability. Two of the dinners are held in Machinists Union halls in Seattle and St Louis, and Walt says there is always a Machinists table at every event. Walt calls the Work Boots on the Ground program “the hallmark of our organization,” and we see a short video of their restoration project in Henryetta, Oklahoma. Nichols Park, a historic park built in 1941 under President Roosevelt's New Deal Program, was restored by USA members who built a new fishing pier and pavilion, which is very popular with families in the area. He says these projects help “connect your Local with your community in a powerful and positive way that lasts forever.” Members of the Machinists Union may join the Union Sportsmen Alliance at no cost, a benefit provided by the IAMAW as a Charter Union. Benefits include a subscription to their quarterly journal, access to an exclusive website for members to purchase equipment, and the opportunity to participate in “Brotherhood Outdoors,” their television show that showcases members' stories, besides the community outreach programs. Through July 1st, USA will send a bonus gift to any District 141 member who applies for membership, while supplies last.

In this week's episode of TCR Express, Journal of Commerce staff writer Russell Hixson looks at an innovative Alberta residential energy project as well as a look at the recent BC Speech from the Throne. We also have updates from Daily Commercial News staff writers Don Wall and Angela Gismondi about recent stories they're working on ranging from Ontario's vaccination protocols to digital transformation in the province's construction industry. Amongst the projects covered in the throne speech were the George Massey Tunnel, an aging piece of Vancouver infrastructure that has gone through several previous permutations as provincial governments tried to modernize or replace the structure.  Russell's also working on a story about a Southern Alberta Institute of Technology project involving a dwelling that produces more energy than it consumes all while meeting the Living Building Challenge to create a truly sustainable and non-toxic structure. Don's vaccine protocol story looks at how Ontario's Building Trades council is examining the various unions setting up their own clinics and they are wondering whether these would fit into the new provincial rules. He also recently wrote about trenchless technology and how it can replace open-cut excavation. Angela is covering subjects as varied as EllisDon's seventieth anniversary, an Ontario General Contractors Association last week. It focused on digital transformation and she's working on a story about two recent university grads who have launched an innovative new tool for the beneficial reuse of excess soil.

Bloomberg takes a beating at his first Democratic Presidential Debate in Nevada.

That puts Sanders at +14 in the Real Clear Politics average. Sanders continues to take on a frontrunner status in state and national polls.

Tom was the organizer behind "Building Trades for Recovery Week", which happened between April 29 and May 3rd of 2019.  The week-long event was designed to increase awareness and understanding of substance use disorder and help construction industry professionals learn best practices for prevention and recovery. Tom discusses the reason behind his organizing the event, the take-aways and success of the conference.  

When you think of industrial furnaces you may think of the late 19th or early 20th centuries and places like Baltimore, Buffalo, and Pittsburgh. But, the history of American industry goes back much further – and one of the earliest industrial sites in Maryland is located in the foothills of Frederick County at the Catoctin Furnace. Today’s guest, Elizabeth Comer, a professional archaeologist, is a member of the Board of the Catoctin Furnace Historical Society – an organization dedicated to preserving and interpreting this unique story. Elizabeth is instrumental in coordinating the Historical Society's Historic Building Trades Program in partnership with Silver Oak Academy, a residential boarding school for at-risk teens overseen by the State of Maryland Department of Juvenile Services. Participating students learn valuable construction skills while working alongside preservation experts gaining marketable real-world job skills that attract potential employers in preservation, conservation, museums, and the trades – or may even inspire students to start their own company. The partnership between the Catoctin Furnace Historical Society and Silver Oak Academy embodies the mythology of the phoenix rising from the ashes as the symbol of renewed life for both the historic buildings and the young people who take part in their preservation.  Make sure you have your blast shields down...we’re headed into the furnace on this week’s PreserveCast.

Plus we ask why Trump is asking railroad and airline employees to decertify their unions, we pick favorites for the NCAA Tournament, we look at the benefits of the job-creating New York Film Tax Credit, and exclusive backroom details on the Building Trades relationship with Related, our nation's largest real estate developer. 

I am thrilled to be joined by Director of Workforce Development for the Canadian Building Trades Unions, Lindsay Amundsen. I've had the privilege to have known Lindsay for a few years now and am excited to have been able to get an episode recorded with Lindsay. Her journey into this role is a great story for everyone to hear. We discuss the work that she has been doing across Canada, collaborating with different Provincial advocates & with the Buildtogether Program. We talk about diversity and inclusion in both the world of Construction and the Building Trades across Canada and just have a great time really. Lindsay was my second guest in my series taking a deeper look at workplace diversity, inclusion and equity and she picked up right where Annemarie left off last week and raised the bar. Don't forget to check out the Buildtogether website and the Mentorship Matters video we talk about in the episode, links below.

This Podcast Is Episode Number 0241, And It Will Be About Unique Highly Profitable Contractors Use Job Costing And Financial Reports  Successful Contractors Find Keys To Growth And Profit In Their Accounting Halloween is the official Kickoff of the Holiday Season. Kids dress up as anything from Princesses to Pirates and every TV character in between. Time of smiles, giggles and lots of “pixie dust” and “magic wands.” Time for “Santa and his reindeer” to visit the malls with a fresh supply of Cookies and Candy.   Wait, let's not forget Thanksgiving with Turkey, Dressing, Yams, Mashed Potatoes, Gravy, Fruit Salad, Pumpkin Pie, Ice Cream and lots of Egg Nog. All of this leads to us in January wishing we ate less and exercised more in hopes to keep the pounds on and matched by the pounds off for a net gain of Zero.     Software and the desire to do everything with our phone is the “Grownup’s Version” of the Candy Store all year long. With a couple of clicks on my phone, I want to Buy Something Pay For Something Get Paid Immediately From My Customer Have all of the money go in or out of my bank account Now how do I then make all the transactions magically go to an accounting system Give me nice detailed reports Help me make simple and complex decisions. Begin with the end in mind. Construction Contractors want to know Job Costing on some projects but not on others. How does a Construction Contractor keep it simple to those around them who need to pick up all the loose pieces of paper (paper receipts or electronic documents)?   Start by thinking about the source and how the supplier can help Home Depot, Lowes, Major Suppliers will email the priced invoice to you. On each of the invoices is a line with a for the Purchase Order. Purchase Order crosses over from Packing Slips to final priced invoice. If the Construction Contractor is willing to Tell The Order Desk something (example job name, customer name, customer address), then there is a foundation for job costing reports. Putting all of the receipts for a single job in a Job Folder or Job Envelope will help if you need to make a material return, find a part number, serial number, color used.   Many online Project Management, Estimating, Invoicing or Scheduling Programs will allow pictures to be uploaded. Before and After pictures are great. Helps the Construction Contractor look back or the project for missing items that need to be billed. Resell value of the project to the customer.     In a “Manual Accounting System” or an “Excel Based Accounting System,” all the loose receipt are being added up. If a Construction Contractor loses or files their recap sheet, it is then harder to figure out it a specific job made any money. All the notes are in the folder and who knows where the folder is.  A favorite tool of mine is TSheets TSheets is an electronic timecard that can track employees in real time with GPS tracking. Are employees on the Job Where You Expect Them To Be?   One tracking method inside TSheets is tied to Workers Comp requirements for your state.   Do you have to report hours by Plumbing, Electrical, Heating, Drywall, Framing, etc.?   Web Based Online Time Card For Construction Contractors Links To QuickBooks Job Costing   Click On The Image Below To Calculate Your Savings! Fast Easy Accounting Your Certified TSheets Consultant   For Construction Contractors Across The U.S.A! Finally! Construction Contractors have a way for your construction workers to submit accurate time cards chock full of the data needed to generate useful Job Costing Reports without the hassle of pen and paper and the excuse that it takes too long because it can be done on their smartphone! Another method of tracking is tied to tasks that would help with future Estimating.   Think instead of Kitchen, Master Bath, Main Bath, Powder Room, Deck, Family Room, Den, Man Cave, Patio, Roof, Sun Room, Gazebo, Cabana, Swimming Pool, Shop, Shed, Play Equipment, Landscaping, Rockery.   Why am I saying track this way? Because when you talk to me about your jobs – You describe the room you were working on. In my experience, When you are looking for a new job you are thinking back on other projects by the room not by how many sheets of sheetrock you are going to be using. It the new project larger, smaller, fancier, simpler than the previous job? Is the new project you are estimating a combination of several other projects?   QuickBooks Desktop will give you easily Job Profitability Reports.   Did the job make a profit or was it non-profitable? Key things between profitable are the basics.   Did you change sales tax if required Did you charge for Change Orders Did you collect a Deposit and apply it properly Did you give Notice To The Owner and preserve your lien rights. At the end of the job is not the time to think about it as the window has already passed. If you have Job Accounts or a primary supplier that delivers to the job they will send a Notice To The Owner to preserve their lien rights for material. if not consider zlien. zlien ZLIEN secures fair payment on every project by making lien rights easy. No printing out forms, no checking mail orders, and no reading tedious legal documents. "Mechanics lien and bond claim rights are connected to $960 billion in construction payments every year. We help material suppliers, lenders, and everybody in between easily manage these rights.

But do not expect a Phone App to replace a Construction Accounting System and give you proper reports. Any time a software says it will do everything it won’t. Perfect Example is MS Office is a full suite of useful software that we all use every day. For all of the ways Excel is used; it does not replace a formal Construction Accounting System but instead, works with Construction Accounting Systems. Many QuickBooks Desktop Reports can export to Excel and reverse is true many Excel Lists can be imported into QuickBooks Desktop. QuickBooks Desktop does not do everything which is why many Construction Contractors will have an Estimating Software with the Building Trades specific tasks and pricing or Dispatch Software with a Time Card feature like T-Sheets which imports into QuickBooks Desktop. We use an Intuit Approved Commercial Host to provide you with access to QuickBooks Desktop in a mobile environment. This is one of the applications modern contractors need in today’s world. With remote desktop application, internet connection and a tablet, notebook, etc. Many Construction Contractors can work from their mobile office (front seat of their truck). If their tablet or notebook go traveling without them and their data is safe in the cloud.  After Hurricane Sandy, I heard many stories where Construction Contractors had their servers in the basement. What got flooded; their basement! When it is time to leave in a hurry; the last thing that is on the short list to remember to take is the server with the accounting data located in the basement.   Back to happier thoughts, we embrace Cloud-Based products, because many of them can be easily accessed from the phone, tablet, notebook, choice of PC, Mac, and Windows, Android or iPhones.   Our Document Management Systems links to your bank and credit card company. You manage what documents and data we receive by keeping the feeds up and working. We want to do what we do best – Enter the receipts, invoices, customer payments properly into a Construction Accounting System. For Fast Easy Accounting, this is QuickBooks Desktop Version. Our Goal is to get everything possible out the data provided, so you the Construction Contractor have information to run your business effectively and make a profit. Help us help you grow.     Without proper information – You are just guessing.  We are here to help!   About The Author: https://www.fasteasyaccounting.com/free-one-hour-consultation-bookkeeping Sharie DeHart, QPA is the co-founder of Business Consulting And Accounting in Lynnwood Washington.
