One mistake of the kind that you could easily offset back in the days of big and plentiful jobs, such as ordering the wrong vanity or tile color, can **eat away at profit margins** in today’s market.  **[Small jobs can further compound losses](http://www.remodeling.hw.net/construction-management/old-school.aspx)** if employees can’t shift to alternate or “floater” tasks and must **pack up and relocate to another project.** On small jobs, one mistake can eat all the profit and can even **cost you money to finish the job**.  Plus, lost hours and days mean less production, scheduling problems and less earned gross profit. ### **Eliminate the Punch List? ** ![Eliminating the Punch List](https://www.shawnmccadden.com/hs-fs/file-16112686-jpg/images/no_more_punchlist-wr.jpg?width=181&height=138&name=no_more_punchlist-wr.jpg)Wouldn't it be great if you could **totally eliminate the punch list** so there are no unexpected surprises at the end of what you thought was a satisfactory construction or remodeling job?  No delays on **collecting your final payment**?  Shawn McCadden will show you how you can avoid any surprises through the use of strategic **Pre-construction meetings** and **Pre-completion meetings**.  Properly used, these meetings can help make sure everyone will have a **clear understanding** of what to expect during construction and how everyone, including the homeowner, can work together towards a **mutually successful and profitable project**. ### **If these challenges are rearing their ugly heads in your business, this workshop will help you shift your thinking and planning methods.  ** ### **Plus, you get the tools you need to implement changes right away!** ### **By Attending This Workshop You Will:** > > - ![Remodeling Estimating advice](https://www.shawnmccadden.com/hs-fs/file-15754787-jpg/images/estimate-wr.jpg?width=157&height=116&name=estimate-wr.jpg)Learn how your sales process and your proposal can help** improve production results and profits** > > - How your estimating process and your estimate’s format can help your team plan and **build the project on their own** > > - Learn about **Pre-Staging projects**, how to it and the benefits if done well > > - Learn what a **Pre-Construction meeting** is, how to do one and how it can help you make more money and get more referrals > > - Learn what a **Quality Control Pre-Completion Meeting** is, how to do one and how it can help **eliminate the Punch List** and help you collect your final payment > > - ![Lead Carpenter system training](https://www.shawnmccadden.com/hs-fs/file-15752809-jpg/images/educator.jpg)Learn the **differences between a Production Manager Driven System and a Lead Carpenter System** so you’ll know which one is best for you and your business > > - Learn about company organizational chart options that can help the owner **delegate some hats to the right employees** and help the business grow in a profitable evolution. > > - Learn how a **true Lead Carpenter System:** > > - ![Profit sharing for lead carpenters](https://www.shawnmccadden.com/hs-fs/file-15734495-jpg/images/cash-wr.jpg?width=236&height=177&name=cash-wr.jpg)Learn how to get your team to **finish the job** before the tools, equipment and the team leave for the next job > > - Learn about a **simple profit sharing plan** for field staff ## **If your current production strategy isn't working, this boot camp is for you!**** ** ## **Registration is required to attend these Boot Camps and space is limited** ## [![Financial system for contractors](https://www.shawnmccadden.com/hs-fs/file-16117579-jpg/images/register_now-wr.jpg)](https://ribuilders.org/event/?event_id=5841#bf_calendarEvent_600) ** ** ## ** ** ### Join Shawn McCadden's Mailing List ### "Made things easy and logical to understand." ### "Everything was great." *"Real life scenarios helps.
