Early one Saturday morning, two friends were having a cup of coffee together doing what businessmen do: discussing business. Despite both being concrete contractors, their backgrounds, businesses, and successes could hardly be different.

John Gains runs a $20 million business that serves the commercial, industrial, and institutional markets. He founded his company 20 years ago with his brother Ted. They started out pouring patios, sidewalks, and driveways for home builders and home owners. John bought out his brother 10 years ago, switched the companys focus, and grew his company into the machine it is today.

Terry Fulton had a far different introduction to the concrete business. His father owned and operated a small concrete company. Terry went to work for his father in the field at age 16 but moved onto other companies after dropping out of high school. He continued to work in the field forming, pouring and finishing concrete during his teens and twenties. For years, Terry rejected his fathers invitations to join the family business.

10 years ago, after being frustrated by the poor leadership and unsteady hours of the companies he worked for, Terry changed his mind and joined his father. His confidence as a businessman grew so much over five years that he ended up buying his father out. The company pours residential foundations, driveways, and patios. Terrys company has never generated more than $2 million in sales.

During this mornings conversation with John, Terry revealed that despite hitting his financial goals most years, he really doesnt have any idea what individual jobs cost him. John sympathized with Terrys plight.

He remembered how much harder it was to track costs back when his company was doing jobs that ran between one and two days. Today, his typical project runs several weeks. His team tracks all costs per job, his knows each jobs profitability, and his estimators excel at cost prediction. John had discovered a truth about job costing the smaller the average job, the harder it is to track costs in a meaningful way.

John took a slow drink of coffee and decided to try and help Terry out. What is keeping you from knowing your project costs?

Terry explained. When we run a job cost report from our accounting system it shows the labor charges assigned to the job and the materials that were delivered to the job. The report doesnt include material taken from inventory such as nails, wood, plastic sheets, and gravel. The report doesnt include the cost of our equipment, such as our Bobcat, nor labor burden, nor overhead.

Terrys answer told John everything he needed to know about Terrys approach to job costing. It was filled with holes. John proceeded with his questioning.

How do you estimate jobs?

I predict the labor time and material costs then add in overhead. I double check the cost per square foot or cubic yard against our averages to make sure I didnt blow a calc. Dad had so much experience he could look at a job and just know. I cant do that.

Okay. More questions. How are you tracking time?

My foremen write down the hours each worker worked and what job they worked on. Many of our jobs span two days, so the foremen note the time the crew finishes the first job and moves on to the next.

From his own experience with small residential jobs, John knew most of Terrys jobs varied greatly in preparation, forming, and finishing. Terry wasnt tracking the labor in a useful way. John continued on.

Does the time required for base preparation, layout, and forming per square foot run consistent or does it vary greatly?

The average varies greatly between driveways, patios, and sidewalks but it even varies quite a bit even within each category. Curved driveways and sidewalks throw all the averages off.

Have you tried to track the labor time by task?

I dont understand your question.

Have you ever asked your foremen to note the time spent prepping the ground, the time spent installing the forms, the time spent pouring, and the time spent finishing?

Yes, and it created a mess. My foremen complained. My bookkeeper complained. The timecards were loaded with errors and the data didnt make any sense. We gave up.

Terrys response brought back many painful memories for John. He had fought this battle for years. He explained to the foremen why job costing was so important to the amount of work his company could provide them. That worked with several of his foremen but not all. He finally laid down the law to his foremen and superintendents. When he made recording labor time by work task a non-negotiable part of their job, the entire team started doing a better job with the paperwork.

Terry, first of all, you need to track the time spent on the major tasks. You will never be able to estimate and schedule accurately without that information. Second, you must be firm with your foreman and bookkeeper. They will record and store that information accurately. Oh, and change your time cards. Assign cost codes to each major task and put the codes on the back of the timecard.

How many different codes should I use? Do I try to catch all of their activities?

Focus on the activities that account for 80% of their time. My rule of thumb is Never try to track more than four activities per crew per day.

When I was your size, my foremen tracked time by the major components: ground preparation, layout, forming, pouring and finishing, cleanup, and drive time. The projects my company now performs allows us to have specialized crews. Each crew has its own set of cost codes. For example, our forming crew tracks layout time, forming time, and break-down and clean-up. They also track the part of the job they are working on, whether it is footings, slabs, or walls.

Wow. My foremen and bookkeeper are going to throw a fit.

Thats why you have to make proper tracking a non-negotiable. By the way, you should also track your equipment by the job. Unless all jobs need the exact same equipment, you need to spread the cost of the equipment only over the jobs that use it.

Why cant I just roll my equipment costs into overhead?

You will end up over-estimating the cost of jobs that dont need the equipment and under-estimating the cost of the jobs that do need it. You might lose good jobs and win bad ones.

Ouch. Okay, so how can I track the use of inventory?

Honestly, we still fight that one. If I were in your shoes, I would assume the quantity estimated is what went in.

How is my accounting system going to reflect that?

Great question. Unless you are using sophisticated or customized accounting software, your accounting system will probably never produce a report that shows the true job costs. We have special reports written into our package.

When I was your size, we relied on Excel spreadsheets. We loaded the labor hours, equipment hours, and inventoried material quantities into a spreadsheet and calculated the costs based on our fully burdened labor rates, our average material costs, and our hourly equipment rate. We added in all other direct costs such and delivered materials and subcontractors. We compared the cost produced by our spreadsheet against the cost we estimated for the project.

That sounds like a lot of work. Is there a quick and dirty way?

John smiled at Terrys question. Everyone wants a fast and simple solution to tough problems. In this case, there was one.

Just track your labor hours per cost code. Compare the hours used against the hours estimated. If you are good on hours, you should be close on cost and schedule.

I always thought that might work. Whats the downside?

Construction isnt the most profitable business in the world. Running a little over on materials or using equipment inefficiently eats holes into your profits. Not as much as running over on hours, but it does hurt.

John, youve got THAT look on your face again. What are you holding back?

John didnt want to insult Terry, but Terry asked for it. Terry, you may be still missing a critical benefit of job costing. It allows you to set up effective bonus systems for motivating and rewarding fast work. Having fast crews is a tremendous competitive advantage and virtually recession proofs your business all by itself.

Terry was just beginning to realize Johns real message: job costing is essential to running a construction business profitably. Thats why Terry enjoys his coffees with John. Johns been there, done that, and willing to help Terry as long as Terry listens.

For large concrete contractors such as John, job costing is fairly straight forward and easy to get right. For small concrete contractors such as Terry, job costing is a never ending headachebut it is essential to the long term health of every construction company.

Forks

Forks are used just like you would use a standard forklift except when attached to a telehandler, it is used for very heavy duty jobs. Pallet forks, lumber forks, and cubing forks are the three types of forks used with telehandlers. The pallet fork is used in the same way as a forklift, lumber forks are wider and good for stacking wood and lumber, and the cubing pallet is ideal for loading, unloading, and stacking bricks or blocks on the job site.

Buckets

Buckets are attachments used to scoop, carry, and drop loose materials. A telehandler with a bucket can be used to clean up gravel, dirt, and other loose debris on a job site. It is also for clearing areas for construction. Buckets come with teeth and in a variety of sizes and types depending on the application. You may also hear them referred to as material buckets. Another type of bucket attachment used is the grapple bucket which is used for bulkier loads and materials. Grapple buckets are often used for cleanup at disaster sites.

Weight Loss and Dieting – What is it?

Dieting is a systematic training of eating food in a controlled manner to achieve or maintain desired body weight. Due to our modern lifestyles maintaining a healthy weight can be tough. Weight loss can be realized by using a combination of exercise, dieting and use of pills. Sportspeople usually use dieting to gain weight and muscles while maintaining a body weight that is stable. We gain weight when we eat more calories than our bodies can burn, and we lose weight when we eat fewer calories than our bodies burn.

There are four different categories of diets that promote weight loss.

They are: low calorie diet, low carbohydrate diet, low fat diet and very low calorie diet.

Understanding weight loss

To understand weight loss we should know how the body eliminates fats from our systems. Our bodies need energy so as to function properly, mostly while exercising our bodies use more energy than it’s consumed. At this time the body relies on energy stored inside our body cells which are fats and complex carbohydrates. When the body has exhausted all this it turns to fat stores for energy, in this process fat is broken down into fatty acids which can be used to generate energy and help in the elimination of fat from our bodies.

Losing weight by dieting means that you eat fewer calories, but it does not mean that you have to eat less food. The secret is to eat and feel full but foods with fewer calories and high in fibre. Foods which are high in fibre are high in volume; they take time to chew and digest and they take longer to digest so you will feel full for many hours and your body will start looking for energy from the fat deposits to burn, hence you will lose weight in the process.

Foods which are high in fibre include all types of beans, whole grains like brown rice, oat meal and brown wheat. Fruits and vegetables are also great sources of high fibre diet which can be taken as snacks in the place of high calorie snacks like ice cream and chocolates. Unlike other diets the vegetables and fruit diet is not restrictive even when on diet you can eat as much as you can without going past the limit of your calorie intake because of the high fibre and water content in them.

Weight loss and drinking

Drink a lot of water in the place of soda, alcoholic drinks and coffee, as these drinks are high in calories and they can add up and exceed your daily calorie intake. Sometimes our bodies confuse thirst with hunger, so by taking in a lot of water you can make yourself feel full and help you avoid the intake of calories. Water also helps in the removal of toxins and fat from our body cells. When dieting junk food, sweets and alcohol should not be taken because these are known to be very high in calories and very low in fibre.

Please note that dieting can have its side effects which can lead to eating disorders, depression, malnutrition, and reduced sex drive.

Could there be a way to clear away the unpleasant unwanted side effects triggered from conventional prescriptions, ointments and also topical acne cures?

Sad to say, in the event you ask most traditional western medical doctors as well as skin doctors how to rid acne, everyone will typically convince you acne can not be curable.

There’s 2 reasons for this:

1. Many cosmetic dermatologists do not even understand what is causing acne. As ridiculous as this seems, it’s totally correct. These people pretty much all study from classes and educational institutions that push necessity for drug treatments and chemicals which means that the doctors never really discover the facts. Furthermore, they just generally examine acne on the outside and not the true cause of acne. Thus if they don’t understand the accurate trigger, how can they know how to rid acne?

2. A lot of doctors work in conjunction with the prescription and drug corporations and they purely never want to discover a remedy for Acne or Aids or Cancer – for the reason that hundreds of millions of greenbacks have already been spent from people trying to heal their own conditions. Why? Merely, because their worldwide purpose is always to make a lot more income simply by creating consumer dependency.

Ponder over it. As long as they develop a product that merely slightly suppresses acne, than they’ve created a steady flow of earnings by keeping acne sufferers dependant on all the prescriptions and lotions because as quickly as you stop using them, your pimples comes right back. Theres less money to be gained in the event you utterly healed your acne eternally.

Just about all illnesses spring from a failure in your body. They are generally indicators associated with some thing quite incorrect internally. The fact is that you are fortunate for having acne. Allow me to make clear…Acne, similar to constant head aches, ibs or even dermititis are typically signals from your brain that some thing is certainly incorrect internally and needs to get attended to and even corrected.

The Good News flash here, is that you’ve got a decision. You can select the trail you wish to take.

1. Disregard that message – huge mistake! The condition that’s creating the acne internally may sooner or later become some kind of debilitating problem. Because the inner issue creating acne isn’t resolved, you may begin obtaining other hormone imbalances and also toxic overloads which will get worse

2. Tune in to your body and begin mending the interior issue that triggers your zits to show up in the first place. Gain knowledge of how to rid acne naturally and keep it away forever. Not simply will your zits go away, but you will be more healthy. Your own body may be more well balanced and often will manage itself on a number of other factors for instance stamina, very clear complexion, as well as brain functionality.

In reality…when you have acne, you’re out of balance. We currently live a ‘far-from-natural’ way of living. There are actually around 300 man-made industrial nasty chemicals within your body that didn’t exist fifty years ago. People are filled with nasty chemicals and also chemical preservatives from the foods, and medications we consume and use.

Regardless of what form of zits you’ve got. Whether a person suffers from: acne vulgaris, acne Conglobata, acne Rosacea, Acne Fulminans, Blackheads, Whiteheads, Papules, Pustules, Nodules or Cysts: The natural and organic approach to cure it is all the exact same. The “alternative” strategies for treating individuals have existed for centuries, and they also unquestionably do the job and no matter what age group your in.

Finding the right kind of medical equipment manufacturer is not only desirable but also necessary in today’s fast-paced world where the number of problems is far greater than the number of cures.

All hospitals need a hospital equipment manufacturer to sustain in business

And for that, every hospital needs to be backed by a very efficient hospital equipment manufacturer that not only helps with the intricacies of the problem at hand but also withstands the test of time so that adequate return on investment can be recovered from the equipment supplies.

What is a medical supply company?

All types of medical professionals, from veterinarians to midwives and eye doctors, need specific supplies to perform their jobs perfectly. Therefore, a medical supplies company is required to help the doctors perform their job in the best possible way. Most hospitals and private clinics buy medical supplies from niche companies that specialize in a certain type of equipment. While various large medical supply companies rule the market, it is quite possible for a small independent medical supply business to sustain in the industry.

A medical supply company is usually set up in a house or office space where it is easier to show the products and their functionality to their prospective buyers. Such companies basically decide the size of their facility depending upon their budget and the needs of their prospective buyers. However, special care needs to be taken when handling medical supplies. The medical supply company must be clean and dust-free in order to prevent the supplies from becoming contaminated. Moreover, a medical supply company also needs to have an appropriate temperature that must be friendly with the supplies that will be stored in the facility. However, it is also important to understand that the Medical Supply Industry is Vast and Diverse and that there is a constant expansion happening in the quantity and variety of medical supplies every day – be it a new invention in times of need or any kind of up-gradation that happens in an existing product by the manufacturer himself.

Industry has now moved to more than just general medical devices

The medical supply industry is no more limited togeneral medical devices in today’s world. There have been bifurcations and most devices have now evolved from manual to electronic. Besides that, the devices have now been segregated into different categories to tackle different types of problems. Different types of medical devices now include – self-care, diagnostics, long-term care, surgical, durable medical equipment, acute care equipment, emergency and trauma equipment and storage and transports medical devices – which, in the future, expected to be game-changers and support life in its best state by tackling problems in routine lives and making the world a better place to live in.

Retirement Communities are a great option for seniors who are unable to remain in their homes. While they offer the opportunity to live independently, there are several advantageous services offered to seniors to help them feel safer. If you wish to evaluate these options more fully, you should contact Dial Retirement Communities today.

In most cases, a retirement community requires that seniors meet certain guidelines before they are allowed to acquire an apartment. For instance, these communities have age restrictions. The senior must be no younger than fifty years of age. Secondly, there are income restrictions. To become eligible for a senior-based apartment, it is possible that you will need an reduced income level. For instance, if you live primarily on Social Security benefits, you are more likely to become eligible for an apartment.

Waiting Lists

With the increase of senior housing demands, most retirement communities place applicants on a waiting list until a unit becomes available. All applicants are screened for eligibility before they are added to this list. As units become available the seniors are notified.

Deposit and Rent Requirements

The necessary deposit and monthly rental payments are typically based on the senior’s income. For instance, it is likely that seniors with one source of income are less likely to pay high rental payments and the deposit is significantly low. These rates vary based on the requirements of each individual complex and the management company that operates these housing options. Typically, these costs are far below a mortgage payment, making them a more beneficial choice for seniors.

Additional Benefits

Seniors who live within these communities do not face high utility costs. They acquire effective security as most communities are protected by guards. Seniors with equity can acquire these funds after they move into the community.

What To Look For When Purchasing A Grill

by

Rachael Stephanie

For many of us, summer will forever be associated with grills. Grills mean Father s Day cookouts, graduation parties, and relaxing family get-togethers. You may think that the scent of bratwurst on the grill is one of the best aromas around. Therefore, if you ve just moved into a home with a deck or an apartment with a patio you may want to invest in a grill in order to make your time outdoors a bit more memorable.

Yet, finding the right grill for your particular lifestyle can be a challenge. This is because there are so many options to choose from. With so many choices available, you may not know where to begin as you conduct your search. However, if you keep a few simple things in mind, both the browsing and the buying process should be much easier.

Undoubtedly, an important consideration is the weight of a grill. Experts say that heavier gauge metal is far more durable. Therefore, if you want to buy a grill that s really built to last, consider a heavy-duty model.

You ll also want to decide what kind of fuel power you would like for your grill. A charcoal grill, for example, tends to add an intense smoked flavor to food. It can also be time-consuming, since it will take about 15 to 30 minutes after you light the grill before it will be ready for cooking. The higher-quality charcoal grills have air vents to control cooking temperature.

The main advantage of grills that use liquid propane or natural gas is that they burn cleaner and less expensively than charcoal. They also ignite quite quickly, thanks to a push-button, rotary or electronic lighter that is built right into the grill. After only ten minutes of pre-heating, you can begin to grill.

Meanwhile, if you live in an area that cannot really accommodate a charcoal or gas grill, you might want to invest in an electric one. Newer models tend to create a fascinating flavor especially when you use a high-quality marinade. An electric grill is especially well-suited for residents of apartments. Yet, a key disadvantage is that the grill must be plugged into an electrical outlet.

Be sure to take your time when shopping for a grill. After all, you ll want one that you will be happy with over the long term. The more time you invest in searching for the right grill, the happier you re likely to be with your final purchase.

Exercise is important at any age. It keeps the body fit and able to fight disease. It helps you process the nutritional benefits of the foods you eat. It stimulates the mind and body for greater energy and awareness. As we age, however, the exercises we do need to fit our changing conditions. Elderly people need exercise programs that are both stimulating and gentle on the body. Rebounding is the perfect exercise for the elderly.

Rebounding is performed on a mini-trampoline. Bouncing is a fun exercise with many health benefits. Because the trampoline is designed to give with each jump, it is a low-impact exercise, gentle on the knees, hips, feet, and spine.

Rebounding utilizes three forces gravity, acceleration, and deceleration to provide its health benefits. As you jump on the mini-trampoline, your body experiences weightlessness at the top of the jump, acceleration as you descend, and enhanced gravity as you land on the trampoline. The effect of these three forces is to stimulate the body in ways that conventional exercises can’t.

Rebounding oxygenates the blood. This exercise is shown to be 68% more effective in oxygenating the blood than other exercises. This is important for the elderly, who spend much of their time sitting. A few minutes rebounding brings oxygen back to the brain and body. It also gets the circulation going, moving blood to the vital organs and extremities and helping the body process food and eliminate waste.

What’s more, rebounding stimulates the lymphatic system, the system that is instrumental in removing toxins from the body. The elderly have special needs when it comes to toxin removal because of illnesses and the medications they may be taking. Rebounding will also increase white blood cell counts, thus working as a shield against new disease and illnesses. The shock-absorbing springs of the mini-trampoline allow for 87% shock-free movement. This means that it is gentle on both the muscles and the bones. At the same time, the exercise provided by rebounding builds muscle mass and strengthens the bones. These are especially important considerations for people looking to maintain muscle and bone strength as they age.

Because rebounding is such an efficient exercise, 68% more effective than other exercises, rebounding just 5 minutes a day can help restore and maintain health. This means even those with major health problems or limited mobility can gain the benefits of rebounding. The mini-trampolines can be fit with special safety rails to prevent falls. Because the mini trampolines are built low to the ground, all they require is one short step to climb aboard.

Research has shown that regular exercise is not only beneficial for the body but for the mind as well. Exercise brings oxygen to the brain, keeping us alert and sharp. Because rebounding is so efficient in providing oxygen to the blood, it is a great way to stimulate the mind. Exercise also makes us feel better about ourselves, leading to greater satisfaction throughout our lives and into our elder years.

The health benefits of rebounding are unparalleled. It is easy to do for people of any age. What’s more, it’s fun! Bounce your way to fitness, vitality, and long life.
