In order to move forward we need a fixed plan so that we're not running in circles or kept as tops spinning in mud. We need movement. The Blueprint Here is a plan to be better organized and have a map on how to go about our business. 3 Step Process: From the time a client calls we start our 3 step process - Collection, Commencement and Completion. 1. Collection: At this stage we receive a call or message from a client requesting our services. We firstly take their information a) Name, Number, Location, Email, Size of land, if they have the deed and T&Capproval. *This builds our database so we have target customers to reach out and advertise to on a personal level b) After that, we organize a site visit. During this visit we are to walk with the checklist(that will be provided) to note further information on the site as well as an electrician and a plumber. After the visit we will give an average estimate. c) In order to get a detailed quote, client must provide a surveyor plan and house plan or we will provide that service for them. Once that is done, we do our calculation and provide the quote for a fee of $ (to be discussed). 2. Commencement After the client is provided with a quote and agrees to go forward with the job, wehave a meeting to go over the contracts a) First with the client and then with other subcontractors. Contracts will be agreed upon and then signed by the involving parties. b) As detailed in the contract with the client, we will begin work once the initial payment of 14% be paid for mobilization. Once paid, we begin the first of 3 milestones in our process: 1. Foundation and Drainage goes up with the funds given for mobilization 2. Walls, columns, electrical and plumbing get done. Inspection is done and 2nd payment is collected. 3. Roofing, doors, windows, tiles, painting and finishes get done which brings us to completion of the job 3. Completion When all work is completed and cleanup isdone, this brings us to the end of our process. Last payment is to be made no more than 14 days after completion. Upon payment, contract is then terminated as agreed upon by both parties after inspection. Warranty on all units are for 1 year as should be mentioned in contract. With this blueprint we are ensuring revenue is made from all ends even if we get the job or not.Cost of Material & Labour (average) *Surveyor - $5,000 *Draughtsman - $5,000 Electrician - $30,000 Plumber - $15,000 Masons & Labourers - $130,000 Roofing - $70,000 Painting - $25,000 Finishes (carpentry, tiling etc) - $50,000 Profit %: 14% Supplying Labour Force In addition to providing labour and materials we can also supply labour only for some clients. 1. In cases where the client prefer to supply material 2. For other contractors that need extra workforce This way we still make revenue on thefront and back end. Either from client or competitors. Factors to consider when supplying labor: 1. Time: duration of job, how much days 2. Manpower: how much men needed 3. Skillset: type of workers - masons, tilers, electrician, plumber etc 4 Location: to know if workers can go themselves or need transport Contract must be agreed upon and signed by both parties and half of payment must be made upfront while other half is paid on completion. When workers are supplied a senior member or manager must be on-site daily to take headcount on arrival and departure to ensure works are present.Pay rate: Skilled labourers/masons: $400/day Unskilled: $300/day Our profit: 20% of total cost of labor
