Managing Projects from the Field Using a Tablet
Presented by Cecilia Padilla, President, On Center Software
Wednesday, June 12, 2013
Time: 2:00p.m. ET/1:00p.m. CT/12:00 noon MT/11:00a.m. PT
Foreman and project managers seem to share a common complaint - They do not have the information needed to effectively monitor and manage labor costs. Yet in most cases, they actually do have the data. The information just happens to be one place but it is needed in another. When in the office, the information always seems to be at the job site. So why not manage the project from the site using a tablet?

FEATURED PUBLICATION
Production Guide
The CISCA Production Guide is a practical reference for labor cost data but is not, in itself, presented as a textbook in estimating. Further, it is not the purpose of CISCA in publishing this guide to standardize the units used by acoustical contracting firms throughout the industry, but rather to promulgate a method of labor cost estimating based on a “component” theory that has worked well in other segments of construction.
If used properly, the CISCA Production Guide produces estimates of far greater accuracy.
Member Price: $45.00
Non-Member Price: $95.00
