What Makes a Great Contractor Webinar

Words: Mason ContractorsThe Mason Contractors Association of America (MCAA) will present “What Makes a Great Contractor” on Wednesday, September 27, 2017 at 10:00 AM CDT.

Today’s business climate doesn’t allow for business as usual. Contractors are rethinking even their fundamental approach to organization, finance, project management and planning. Will your company be a casualty of outdated management practices, or a leader in shaping the new marketplace? This briefing focuses on the characteristics of a “good contractor” in today’s environment:
  • Organization and personnel.
  • Finance and cash management.
  • Project control and productivity.
  • Strategic and business planning.
Mason contractors registered for Masonry Certification will receive 1.00 credits in the Ethics & Business Practices discipline upon completion of this course.

This webinar is free to all attendees. Register for “What Makes a Great Contractor” at www.masoncontractors.org/live.
