Is this a typical cell phone conversation with your subs?

“He can't come Monday?  He's coming on Tuesday, and he'll finish on Thursday?”  And your second sub says, “Well, we can't come on Friday; we'll have to come the following Monday or Tuesday”.  And then your third sub says, “I can't come on that Wednesday; I'll have to come Friday or Monday.”   You’ve now added 10 days to your schedule.

We all know that TIME IS MONEY, making it easy to see that time wasted is money lost.  And home builders are amongst the worst because they try to remember everything without a support system and hence - the cell phone NEVER stops ringing.

The average construction cycle time is about 150 days per unit.  But for 30 of those days a typical house sits empty all day, with no critical path work being done.  Given the money tied up in a house under construction, each “empty-house” day costs a builder between $40 to $150 in interest costs.  Do the math! 

With JobTracker+ scheduling software you can save thousands of dollars a year by reducing “empty-house” days.  And along the way you’ll be able to get the cell phone out of your ear!
