At JDE & Associates our goal is to help contractors succeed. We accomplish this in several methods - first we train and have multiple training options for contractors. Our second method is by our consulting services, if you have a project in trouble we may be able to help. A better option is to contact us before a problem arises and we may be able to help streamline your current efforts. Whether we are talking training or consulting possibilities in our home study or on site training we tailor our efforts for each contractor particular needs.
Regarding our training, we can help regardless if you’re an experienced professional or starting your estimating or project management career. Our classes focus on the basics - we do not utilize any estimating or project management software in our training. We know that contractors that understand these basics techniques will increase the benefits that many of the commercially available software systems provide.
Contractors that are interested in our consulting services, contact us and we will explore together what your needs may be and whether we can help – some issues are beyond our reach.
Our mission statement is that we get to help people succeed! We believe this statement, our classes are designed to help with consistent and quick processes. Whether the topic is estimating or project management we fall back on the basics to help contractors reduce stress, increased accuracy and profits.
We want contractors to increase their proactive time while reducing their reactive time that drains resources. Contracting is a reactive business, we want our clients to realize that a phone call from a client needing immediate help for a problem will create reactive time, this is good reactive time. Contractors get paid for this type of reactive time. We have techniques that help avoid as much reactive time as possible, all too often we work with contractors that have dug themselves into a hole because items that needed to be completed and had not, becomes emergencies that cost resources that could be better used in other areas.

Do you have goals for your family, your professional life, your business? Are your company’s sales and profits at levels you’re comfortable with or had you expected, perhaps wanted better results? Did your firm have sales goals for 2011 or did you just wait to see what came your way? Opportunities do exist in today’s market, are they as good as several years ago, probably not,
–
however they do still exist.
We can help regardless if you are an experienced professional or beginning your
estimating or project management career. We provide training in estimating and project management techniques. Our classes focus on the basics; we do not utilize any estimating or project management software in our training. We know that if we return to these basics, teaching techniques that can be accomplished without the benefit of these software programs, that our training will increase the benefits for many of the commercially available software systems available.
Contractors need to be aggressive in the manner they market their prospects, aggressive in how they estimate the project and aggressive in the manner they manage those projects to assure profits. Are you ready for 2012, or will you repeat the same results as 2011? If you want to make a positive change for 2012, now is the time for those changes.
How are you looking for work in today’s economy? Contractors that market their services in the same manner they marketed those same services three or four years ago are generally not having great success. You do not need to wonder why your results are lagging, change how you are looking for and marketing new leads. Look outside of the box and find opportunities that do currently exist. Websites, newsletters and pin point marketing directed towards the clientele you want to attract.
An important technique in our estimating structure is breakouts for bidding and future management purposes, we see quite a few estimators that do not utilize this and wonder why. Breaking out an estimate into small sections can increase an estimator’s speed, will almost certainly increase their accuracy and for projects awarded, these breakouts provide your firm a jump start on managing projects efficiently. We look at breakouts as the gift that just keeps giving, pay for it once on the initial estimate and take advantage of it during yhe estimating process into the final review (before the bid is released), then jump start your firms management of awarded projects.
