How will TradesmenIncrease Your Profitability?

“Completion of a project in a timely manner is top priority with Flintco.

Tradesmen has been very helpful in providing the staffing needs

in order for us to meet our commitments.”

Jeff HollandDirector of Field OperationsFlintco Construction SolutionsMemphis, Tennessee

The weather has delayed things... materials are late... there’s too much

or too little work. Such variables wreak havoc on your labor productivity

and related costs. That’s exactly why leading contractors turn to Tradesmen

– We support you with trained Field Representatives who take the time

to understand your business and guide you toward optimized workforce

productivity through customized and flexible staffing solutions.

Our labor consultants work with you to better forecast your short- and long-term skilled labor needs. They help you sustain the rightnumber of craftsmen – no more and no less than ideal at every phaseof your project – with the goal of amplifying project profit margins.

Tradesmen helps you decrease unnecessary employee hold-over

and down-time costs by steering you towards a “just right” staffing

solution, one that enables you to run your business with a leaner core

or permanent workforce. As workload increases beyond what your

core can handle, we stand prepared to supplement them with our proven

craftsmen. Essentially, this labor strategy enables contractors to sustain

the right balance of work to skilled workers. The outcome is typically

greater productivity and more profitability, as well as a job done on

time and to high quality standards.

All contractors experience fluctuations in labor. It’s those who partner with Tradesmen to manage their peaks and valleys who minimize lost profitability and remain most competitive.

Current Permanent Workforce

Variable Craftsmen

“We value Tradesmen as an important resource and labor partner similar to plumbing,

electrical or framing contractors. Their outstanding and dedicated service provides us with

quality on-demand labor without the expense of hiring for a specific task.”

You know your top craftsmen are pulling their weight. It's typically your

lower productive workers on payroll that are cutting your profit margins by

as much as 40%. These extra workers may be the result of staffing up to

handle a large project, or simply because you've “had it" trying to hire “decent"

workers – you know, hiring 10 employees just to find one worth keeping.

Tradesmen can help you avoid this costly numbers game. We supplement your

full-time workforce with tier-one craftsmen who are safety-conscious, reliable,

well-trained and have positive attitudes. This as-needed staffing approach has

helped save our clients from 15% to 60% in overall labor costs.

Bryan ReightleyProduction ManagerLZL Construction Inc.Seattle, Washington

Serving contractors for more than two decades, we’ve learned that keeping full-time workers “busy” is by far thenumber one cause for diminished profitability in our industry.

When business slows, contractors tend to keep several workers to perform a job that one good worker should be ableto handle. Or, they keep employees busy doing “busy work” such as sweeping floors, re-cleaning equipment, etc.

The problem is they’re paying these workers the same compensation even though these jobs are not positively impacting the bottom line. The fact is, keeping non-productive employees busy – holding them overuntil the next project starts – is what substantially erodes profitability.

Those contractors who maintain a “productive” workforce year-round achieve the highest profit margins per job.

Productive means working on jobs that positively impact the bottom line. To optimize worker productivity, the most successful contractors manage a “variable labor cost” in conjunction with a “fixed labor cost.” They keeponly their most skilled and reliable workers full-time and supplement them with Tradesmen craftsmen only when work volume warrants it.

The key is, while you may pay us a few dollars more per hour than you’d pay the same level worker, you only pay us for Productive Hours Worked versus paying excessive full-time employees for both productive and non-productive hours“worked.”

You can save substantially on labor costs by partnering with Tradesmen to supplement your optimized full-timeworkforce just when needed.

For a few dollars more per hour,is Tradesmen really more expensive? By Reducing Your Hiring, Workers’ Comp and

Unemployment Costs and Eliminating Hold-Over Costs...

Partnering with Tradesmen Maximizes Productivity.

“Before I began working with Tradesmen, I would invest untold resources into hiring skilled craftworkers

with little to show for my efforts. With Tradesmen, I’m confident my Project Managers and

Superintendents will get the skilled craftworkers they need, when they need them.

This allows me to focus on our customers and future growth.”

Hiring highly skilled construction, industrial and manufacturing craftsmen is

one thing, retaining them is another. At Tradesmen, we do both better than

other labor sources.

It begins with a rigorous screening process which includes multiple reference

checks, in-depth interviews, a skill and safety evaluation, and more. Once hired,

we constantly evaluate our force through continual employee assessments

including client surveys. We keep only those employees who meet strict quality

standards, consistently replacing the bottom 10% – who simply don’t make the

grade – with workers who do.

Unlike temp agencies, we successfully retain the best craftsmen because they

are part of a highly respected national workforce, they work for a company who

puts their safety first, they enjoy project diversity and are provided stable work

with one of Tradesmen’s thousands of clients nationwide.

Pete NazelrodPresidentP.N. Hoffman Construction & DevelopmentWashington, D.C.

What this means to you is, we have a solid force of experienced and
