If you are a typical contractor, Construction 3.0™ PM can deliver immediate results to improve your performance and profitability. Too many contractors involved on small projects or even larger projects where their portion of the work is relatively small think that PM is too complex and a waste of time. It's true that many PM applications are not needed on smaller projects, but ignoring several key aspects can spell disaster for your company. Studies indicate that less than 50 percent of the tasks assigned each week are finished on time, which directly impacts the contractor's profitability. Every manager who is responsible for small projects should attend this program, which focuses on critical project management techniques essential to maximizing small project performance and profitability. This program is based on Construction 3.0™ strategies and concepts used by today's most successful contractors.

Key takeaway points include the following:
  • Boost project profitability and repeat business by better understanding client's needs
  • Create dynamic results with a small project management process
  • Assure project success by identifying and eliminating waste and costly obstacles
  • Create an efficient and highly productive workforce

When contractors, whether GCs or subcontractors, learn to define their projects from the client's perspective instead of their own, they begin to see their profit margins increase. This doesn't mean you ignore your needs; instead it's about creating a process where you better match your capabilities to your client's highest needs, allowing you to maximize your profit margins. The typical attendee says when leaving, "This is a new way of looking at my business."

Key takeaway points include the following:
  • Generate a project definition that leads to greater profitability and performance
  • Create a company brand that makes yours the company of choice
  • Create a process that allows you to select the most profitable projects by focusing on protecting the client
