(PRWEB) August 19, 2005 -- Efficiency is often the key to profitability. Conversely, inefficiency boosts costs, busts budgets, and kills profits. Given the consequences, understanding and managing the efficiency of construction is important to everyone on the project - from the contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers that experience inefficiency to the owners and design consultants whose actions can lead to inefficiencies. The first step towards managing efficiency is to understand what it is and know how to measure it. That is the objective of this teleconference.
The benefits of being a part of this teleconference are many: Its experienced instructor will explain ways to enhance your ability to detect inefficiencies before it's too late to do anything about them; he will teach you the best ways to measure inefficiencies; and he will show you how to price inefficiencies. The course materials will not only describe for you the most practical and proven analytical techniques, they will also teach you, through practical exercises and case studies, how to perform a measured-mile analysis. You will also be introduced to the legal requirements associated with establishing entitlement to recover inefficiency.
This teleconference is intended for but not limited to contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, engineers, architects, construction managers, developers, public agencies, departments of transportation, federal agencies and other public and private owners involved with construction, and the attorneys and other professionals that serve them.
