Equipment Investments to Boost Revenue
Sidewalk construction companies are forced to contend with
various factors that keep their costs high and their ability to attend to a
larger range of clients low. Through the investment of machinery that will
enhance the simplicity of sidewalk construction, it is possible for concrete
and construction companies to greatly enhance profitability, efficiency and
client base.
Investing in Your
Company
In the current climate of the construction industry, it has
become more necessary than ever for companies to figure out effective ways of
lowering labor costs, as well as minimalizing the cost of machinery. By
investing in the most lucrative equipment on the market today, concrete and
construction companies are capable of increasing their daily return up to
$12,000 a day. The Form-Botic is altering the way construction companies are
generating revenue.
Although the idea of increasing profits by such a high
amount may seem impossible, utilizing a piece of machinery such as the
Form-Botic that can lay up to 1000 feet of sidewalk or put up 1000 feet of
barrier curb a day can generate this much revenue when, after assessing the cost
of labor and material, traditional methods of installing barrier curbs results
in costing approximately $12.66 per foot.
Currently, a 600-110 barrier curb sells for approximately
$65 per liner yard and the cost of a cubic yard of 30 MTO curb mix is $150 per
cubic yard. One cubic yard produces approximately 40 linear feet of barrier
curb. Therefore 40/150 equals $3.75 per foot.
The estimated labor costs of three men laying down 40 feet
of sidewalk at $35 an hour (considering the job takes 2 hours) equals $210.
40/$210 of labor costs plus $3.75 per foot in materials results in $9.00,
meaning that 3 feet / $65 = $21.66. $21.66 - $9.00 equals $12.66 per foot.
Using an efficient machine that enables your company to
easily lay down 1000 feet a day offers a return after the cost of materials of
$12,660.
The Equipment
Acquiring equipment and machinery to help boost business and
revenue requires research. When looking to make the investment in your own
machinery, the Form-Botic offers the following features:
-

should be accessible with ability to install in close quarters and conduct
sharp radius turning

Machine requires minimal maintenance with real working
grease fittings

Optional right or left side curb placement
-
Can produce curbs up to 24” wide by 24” high
-
Capable of producing a 4' radius
-
Construction and build is rugged in order to endure real
world working environments
-
Heavy-duty industrial 30 plus horse power gasoline engine
The more versatile the machinery is, the more jobs can be
taken on, including both residential and commercial.
Other advantages to owning equipment are that it can be used
as a method of advertising. Company logos can be placed on your equipment, as
opposed to having to pay for the product placement of other companies.
