Business Toolkit - Understanding Labor Costs	Jobsite labor is one of the highest risk of all job costs for integrators. There is a large gulf between the amount paid per hour to a technician, and their billable rate to the customer. This difference must account for the many other expenses required to maintain and equip installation staff, while also covering unproductive hours, and help contribute to overhead and profit. This white paper explores how to calculate these costs and labor burden rates, and how to track employee productivity that is key to project and financial management. Member Price: Free	1	£82.60

Additionally, how these changes are managed is important in maintaining rapport with the client. This white paper explores the crucial process of change order management, providing advice for sustained or even increased profitability. Member Price: Free	1	£82.60
