SUMMARY:Managing Construction Job Costs
DESCRIPTION:THIS COURSE IS HOSTED BY THE CONSTRUCTION INSTITUTE OF CANADA \nto enroll or for further information go to this link: \nhttps://www.tcic.ca/pub/course_construction_job_cost_control.html \nThis is a professional development course for managers in all branches of the construction industry.  It does earn education credit for Gold Seal certification.  It is NOT part of the competency requirements for licensing through the Home Construction Regulatory Authority (HCRA). \nThis course explores the demands of cost control on construction projects\, what causes errors and uncertainty and ways to gain control. Systems are outlined for tracking actual spending against budget\, even while projects are underway. We look at how to use information to win a better result on current projects and improve financial planning for future projects. \nThe key to managing job costs is accurate timely information that can match spending to budgeted amounts.

How to make it work for you.\nMethods for monitoring costs in real time\nMatching actual to budgeted job costs\nMatching spending status to job status\nTaking advantage of Purchase Orders\nSome cautions about Cost Plus / Time & Material work\nNon-financial causes of cost overruns and how to prepare\n\nLearning Outcomes: \n\nKnow how to zero in on where cost overruns occur\nMonitor costs and budget status closer to real time and\nAssess spending versus budget for specific phases of project\nConnect more effectively with the whole management team\nUnderstand how to continuously learn from each job and improve for the next\nSo that your control of job costs continues to get better over time

SUMMARY:CUSTOMER SERVICE & TARION WARRANTY\, Live Webinar (enroll here)
DESCRIPTION:https://mmiproservices.com/course-selector/ \nThe details of the Tarion enrollment process and a builder’s legal obligations for warranty coverage on new homes can be complex and distracting.  This course lays out what that process involves\, and how the builder engages with Tarion at the individual project level.  We will clarify step-by-step what you as a builder need to do to comply with Tarion and your legal obligation under Ontario’s legislation for new home builders to provide warranty coverage.  Both the dollar impact on you as a builder and the time lines involved will be clarified and explained. \nThe foundation for success for any builder depends on customer satisfaction.  The subject touches virtually any contact you have with customers\, and anything you produce for them.  In this course we discuss how to make customer service a fundamental driver of all the things you do.  Since most builders look to referrals as a critical source of new business\, Customer Satisfaction is effectively your primary marketing tool.  To do that job for you\, it needs to be embedded in all that you and your employees do.  We will explore how the owner / general manager can make that happen without having to be the one who must do all the work. \nTarion incorporates Customer Service in this education module for a good reason.  Simply put\, where customer service standards excel\, your compliance with Tarion service standards will pretty much take care of themselves.  In conducting your business in the most professional way\, you will fulfill Tarion requirements as a matter of course. \nThis 16 hour webinar is conducted over two full days.. It is conducted live with the instructor present for questions and conversation among attendees.  Your qualification exam for builder licensing with the Home Construction Regulatory Authority will be administered at the end of Day 2 (examination fees are included in the basic course tuition). \nCourse fees $550+HST.  A $100+HST deposit is required at time of booking.  The remainder of fees ($450+HST) will be invoiced at the start of the course and are payable by cash\, e-transfer\, cheque or credit card. \nFor alternative courses and dates please see our course calendar at: \nhttps://mmiproservices.com/course-calendar/
