Common Scenarios in Construction for General Information

 

An example of having control of your information - in building developments

• Temporary marking (or painting) of street or apartment numbers
• Temporary signs of the name of a development

It helps the people working there with some sort of reference point!

It's probably not too difficult to get some old paintbrushes of a painter as they paint so much surface area compared to writing a few letters! 

Compass bearing on building sites also help as well! 

Ruggerising ( & Digitising) your paper

In a workshop, kitchen etc ... these are certainly not the places for paper (not looking so much at phones, tablets etc ... at this stage)

If you absolutely must keep paper you will need to put it inside plastic sleeves, folders, display books etc ... and THEN if you want to store it there over night (or longer) it then needs to be placed in another storage container.

Hence this 'double packaging' does make it fairly costly in terms of space ~ even for a few sheets of paper or even 1 or 2 sheets!

And it's certainly not reasonable to expect workers to operate without information in the 21st Century!

It is definitely worthy then as a starting point to look at the Office 365 Online offerings ~ even simple solutions such as e-mailing out information, documents to Google Apps or Hosted Exchange etc ... as a central, co-ordination point for documents whilst continuing to share information and subsequently moving on to minimise the 'paper clutter' !!

Multi - Disciplinary DIY Skill Areas

Examples (ever expanding lists):

Painting – more than half of Painting is preparation and much of the preparation is Cleaning! Hence it helps to combine the skills.

Cleaning whilst you are Cooking - as you cook you will find your washing up will also improve automatically;

As it is a closely related concept, you can learn one area the same time you are working in another area.

Renting or Leasing Equipment

If you're in a Construction Business:

By leasing equipment you are able to operate you can add these on as services to increase the breadth of your Construction Offering ...

Have a look at the (expensive) equipment that is part of that Construction. 

Also have a quick think about whatever else is required to operate it safely:

List down the Services you can offer on top of that ... you can then start marketing them and giving Proposals to Customers ...
