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. We learned this first hand in last month’s edition of the Electrician Forum when Steve Beeby of Beehive Electric discussed the balance required to own and operate an electrical contracting company.

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.
