In this issue: Electrical Contractor Job Site Costing: A View of Canadian Costing Trends
Quite simply put if you feel that job site costing and quote development are a lot of work, you are right! To properly assess a job and estimate the required work time, product costs and various other expenses can take more time than is often feasible for a small company. You need to be spending your time completing projects, which can become difficult if you are spending your hours doing cost analysis.

A Business Case for Future-proofing Building Lighting Systems, Part 1
The economic impetus to convert traditional incandescent and fluorescent lighting to digital LED is rapidly becoming inescapable. With proven energy saving rates of 60% and beyond, the return on investment is hard to beat among capital improvement projects.
