Twiddling your thumbs or keeping them busy?
If you’ve found yourself with some more spare time lately and aren’t able to get on site due to restrictions, we’ve compiled a list of strategies that can catapult you into the next season of work. Unfortunately, these times are completely out of our control so it’s important to do what IS in your control.
1. Remove the weight of a guilty paper stack!
Catch up on Quotes with Buildxact
Once you’ve caught up on your favourite TV shows, the mountains of laundry and a few years worth of sleep, you’re finally ready to move in to stage two of isolation coping – productivity.
Catching up on your quotes is a good way to pass hours – sometimes days!
One of TAG’s trusted affiliates – Buildxact – has the solution to getting ahead with estimating and job management software, helping you manage everything from the first takeoff to the final invoice. Their recent report indicates there’s been an increase in quotes in the second quarter of 2020 so we know you’ve got some work to do!
2. Are you happy with your current cost prices?
Run a Series of Test Quotes
After blitzing through your pile of quotes thanks to Buildxact’s streamlined software, now’s your chance to really reassess and make sure you’re getting the right pricing from your suppliers.
Many people are creatures of habit and won’t take the risk of trying a new supplier. We get it. But that’s why we do what we do so you don’t have to – sift through the potential and come back with the least risky options.
That’s why our Plan Quoting Service is perfect for this next step in quarantine productivity. Have you got some jobs lined up and haven’t yet ordered all the components? Get a bunch of plans together, send them through to us and we’ll make sure they land in front of all relevant suppliers. That way you can reevaluate your current prices side by side against TAG’s and fill the gaps where you see fit!
3. Armour up with new business skills to bring into the arena.
Brush Up on Your Business Skills
If you’ve been missing the webinars and podcasts flooding the scene at the moment, this time of rest gives you no more excuses!
There’s a whole wealth of information being handed out for free all over the internet from trusted companies in the construction industry. All you have to do is dedicate time to absorbing and educating yourself and your employees. It’s no good having all the skills on site if you don’t have the skills in the office to match. What better time to do some homework?!
Keep your eyes peeled on our trusted affiliates and friends at Protrade United, Buildxact and Trademutt to give you all the necessary business skills to bring into the building arena.
