TOP TIPS FOR BUILDERS TO SAVE TIME AND AVOID COSTLY MISTAKES

Are you one of the many UK builders worried about making costly mistakes because you’re so time poor? Well it’s definitely worth treating your time with as much care as your finances. It’s just as valuable. In fact your time literally is ‘currency’ so think hard about what you spend it on. Where can you save time? Where can you make more time? Here we look at some of the issues.

STOP DOING THINGS MANUALLY – GO DIGITAL

There are a number of tasks that you are currently doing in your head or by hand, with a calculator, on a note pad, a glitchy spreadsheet… that could become more automated and completed by our team of construction estimators.

COST YOUR PROJECTS ACCURATELY WITH AN ACCURATE HBXL ESTIMATE

Estimating can be a hugely time-consuming process. Builders pre HBXL estimating service users often quote multiple hours or even a day to get a quote out; let us take it on!

As long as you have a set of project drawings (see what we need here), then you can use our estimating service! Your estimate will show you the cost of the project down to the last nail and hour of plastering.

STOP JUMPING IN AND OUT OF THE VAN. PLAN BETTER AND VISIT THE MERCHANTS LESS.

Get a list of all the materials for all your jobs onto paper and think logically about what you need where and when. And if that’s just not going to happen – then we can provide you with material schedules and material reports. And they’re there ready to go the moment we’ve produced the estimate that won you the job.

And that also includes the build programme, labour schedule, cash flow analysis, profit forecast and so on… And that’s just a fraction of what it can do help you make more money and win more work.

AND THEN THERE’S OUR TEAM OF BUILDING BUSINESS ADVISORS…

The Better Business Group. They help builders (exclusively) to run a better business. They can help you charge the right amount for a job, help you use your time wisely on profitable jobs, and advise on how to convert enquiries into business. They can even get you qualified/pre-vetted leads, check out your competition and speak to your customers. Call us on 0117 916 7894 and we’ll put you on to them or call Simon directly on 01707 859900 and mention HBXL.

DON’T WASTE ANOTHER MINUTE – DON’T BE ONE OF THE BUILDERS MAKING MISTAKES
