"This week, I will be mostly talking about... Planning...." When speaking with specialist contractors we typically we see money being lost by so called “Bad Performance” than as a result of other influences... Most losses can be avoided or mitigated if basic routines are in place and consistently maintained throughout the life of the Contract. Bad performance as it applies today is simple ❌ Poor / non-existent planning ❌ Poor / non-existent information flow to client This week I'll be delivering training to a specialist contractor client on #Programming and #Time for #Completion, with Managing the Process, as part of our #commercial #awareness #training programme, delivered in partnership with RCC Limited Does training like this sound like it'll benefit your business...? Help you to improve delivery and avoid any banana skins on the route to Completion....? Message me and perhaps we can work together to elevate project delivery in your business... #construction #training #mentor #coaching #programme #insight #obligations #notices

This list goes on.... Do you struggle with the above in your hashtag #construction business...? Do you need help with basic understanding, or simply sharpening your existing skills....? Do you want the good news...? Our #commercial #awareness #training delivered in partnership with RCC Limited covers off all of the above, giving you the clarity and understanding you need....

👇 How did COVID affect your business, and was it for the better?! Got 5 minutes? 👇 On the 29th of December 2017, we signed a lease on a 4m x 4m room, within a serviced office block in Bermondsey. We remained there, and successfully built our business for 3 years, with 85% of our operations serving the hospitality industry. In December 2019, the whole world was exposed to the pandemic (whether we knew it, or not), which may be the most historic event in our lifetime. In March 2020 the doors shut on absolutely everything. The Hospitality Industry was a distant memory, and we were left with 15% of our business overnight. Between March & September, we re-built our business focusing on our expertise of the Public & Disabled Access Sector. We agreed trade deals, and also relocated to Dartford. Every last £, went in to this venture - this was the epitome of “all our nothing”. 2 children, a wife, a mortage, a lifestyle - this had to work! Fast forward to November 2024; We have built a brilliantly experienced team, we have comfortable facilities, concrete contracts, a loyal supply chain and…. A SHOWROOM! Sometimes - events do not seem positive at the time… #familybusiness #independentbusiness #businessgrowth #dkliftgroup #providingsolutions #localbusiness #hospitality #liftspecialists #dartfordliftshowroom #covid19 #dumbwaiters #londonbusiness

Why I Prefer Supplying Materials for My Jobs. Here’s a great example: I recently installed a 6ft strip light for a customer, and unfortunately, it turned out to be faulty. Thankfully, because I supplied the light, I was able to contact my trusted wholesalers and have a replacement delivered within an hour—at no extra cost or inconvenience to the customer. Occasionally, things don’t go to plan, but working with reliable manufacturers and suppliers means I can resolve issues quickly and efficiently. It’s also worth noting that supplying your own materials might not always save you money in the long run. With my approach, you're not only getting high-quality products but also peace of mind that any hiccups will be handled seamlessly. #PegrumElectrical #CustomerFirst #QualityMatters #ElectricianUK #BrightIdeas #ReliableElectrician #HomeUpgrades #HereToHelp

👇 It's so crucial to use skilled and approved contractors, here's why. 🚨 We recently went out on a site visit to a new client's site to quote for a fire alarm service contract and to discuss a potential upgrade. At the time of the visit, it was clear that the roof had begun to bow under the weight of a recent solar panel installation. 🧱 A few weeks later, we received a call to tell us that the entire roof had collapsed. 🚒 Following the collapse of the roof, the client still needed to ensure that the rest of the site's fire alarm system remained active, so we carried out the required alterations. 🪪 Fortunately, nobody was injured when the roof collapsed, however, this event really does highlight the importance of always choosing qualified professionals, regardless of price, for technical works such as this. ⭐️ If you are looking for a team of qualified electricians you can trust, please don't hesitate to reach out: https://bit.ly/2WlxCzp #Solar #SolarPanels #Electrician #Electrical #ApprovedElectrician #Leicester

Having been out and about with Mike recently I was so impressed to hear the contractor’s feedback on this clever bit of kit. To really fix a problem, you’ve got to understand what’s causing it. Instead of continuously fixing or replacing a part in the plantroom, take a test, understand the problem and fix it once and for all. It couldn’t be easier… 1. Pick up a kit from your local merchant 2. Take two water samples and complete the form 3. Pop it in the post 4. Log in to the portal and get quick digital results of the main parameters of failure Need help knowing the solutions to fix the problem? By using this kit you get access to expertise from the ADEY Commercial UK team.

Sometimes you do not have to look too hard to find the cause of internal dampness. In this case, poorly maintained timber windows and rotted sills are allowing ingress at the sill reveals to this bay. Cracked external render and weathered brickwork mortar are resulting in dampness elsewhere in the property. The solution from a contractor was to re-plaster the affected walls, but as seen the moisture ultimately finds its way through. Periodic external monitoring and maintenance are the key to save a small problem becoming a much larger and more expensive one in time.

360 degree photos are proving as useful internally as they are externally for residential and commercial condition surveys. Large rooms such as this can be captured in several photos melded together to ensure the room is photographed from all angles. Specific defects identified can be recorded in greater detail using a standard camera in the usual way. PJR Surveying are looking from new and innovative perspectives for 2025 to solidify our building surveying services. #buildingsurveying #buildingsurveyors

"subbies managing subbies" This is one of the main contractors bugbears, they detest losing control, and I get that. The reason for being in business is to find soultions for your customers challenges. A a provider of turnkey feature staircases we have multiple trades needed to complete the staircase, and we will never be good at it unless we perfect project management, and this is the reason why we don't use "subbies" we have supply chain partners (SCP) who work to our standard operating procedures (SOP) through service level agreements (SLA) to give our customers full peace of mind. Partner with us and we will partner with you. #teamalpine www.alpinegroupuk.com The Alpine Group - Feature Staircases sales@alpinegroupuk.com "need stairs, need Alpine"
