The owner of Apex Construction, Juan Franzetti, offers some tips for success to fleet managers interested in setting up an in - house maintenance program for their construction vehicles:
1. Be sure to create a sound preventive maintenance program that takes into account all of the systems and equipment on your residential and commercial construction fleet vehicles. Furthermore, be consistent about its implementation. Juan has a checklist that is used routinely to ensure comprehensive check-ups.
2. Ensure that your equipment operators are constantly trained in the most up - to - date procedures, technologies, and test equipment. Training of your construction crew never stops. It is your responsibility as fleet manager to provide them with the tools that they need to do their jobs.
3. "You get what you inspect, not expect," Juan says. Create accountability in the organization from top to bottom. Use internal audits to hold employees responsible for their use and service of the equipment. Apex uses a time card method to help identify problems that need solutions. Mechanical productivity reports provide information by vehicle, branch, and location. Other reports allow for review of mileage, fuel, oil usage, and miles per gallon. Juan's reports enable the company to track costs by current month, year-to-date, and life of the construction vehicle. "In the future, we expect to use electronic pads to record our own data processing at a central facility in mid-town Ocean City," says Juan.
4. Evaluate your employees regularly. At Apex Construction, equipment operators are re-certified on preventive maintenance inspection quarterly.
5. Roll out your program in the areas where you have your largest concentration of construction vehicles first.
6. Respect your equipment operators as competent service technicians.
Juan emphasizes competent equipment operators. "A good, well-trained individual will always be employed," Juan says. "The knowledge that today's operators must acquire in regard to vehicle systems, tools and testing equipment is overwhelming," says Juan.
One of the most popular trends in home development today is outdoor living. Homeowners all over the country are expanding their living spaces to include the outdoors, building versatile living spaces that feature everything from quiet places to read to fully functional outdoor entertaining spaces complete with kitchens and dining.
No matter how ambitious your plans are, adding a deck is a great way to enhance the value of your home and expand your living space to include new horizons. Here are some great reasons why you should consider adding a deck to your Ocean City beach house.
Few things add hard value to your home more than outdoor living areas. Experts agree that a deck offers a 100% return in value. You’ll get back every cent you spend building a deck when you sell your home, and the additional curb appeal will help you sell it faster. Do-it-yourself and you’ll realize an even greater return on your investment. Decks are the hottest trend in the home-buying market.
If you like to host parties for friends, a deck is the perfect way to add functional space where people can gather and still breathe freely. Decks are less claustrophobic than crowded rooms, and spills and other potential damage are less costly to repair or clean up. Add an outdoor grill or a portable bar and raise the level of a simple deck to a real outdoor entertaining space.
Decks give a whole new perspective to outdoor comfort. Far from the simple porches of the past, modern decks offer a versatile and comfortable way to enjoy your own little slice of nature. Strategically placed plants offer privacy and a feeling of nature even in the city. Enjoy the wood under your feet, the greenery around the edges and the open sky to create a peaceful haven to escape from the stresses of life.
There are more decking materials on the market now than ever before. Express your design aesthetic with natural or composite materials, from exotic hardwoods to rustic pine, from stone flooring to a brick fireplace, and from a simple, traditional diagonal to a complex geometric design. There are also a variety of construction choices, starting with traditional brass or steel screws and hardware and including fasteners that are entirely hidden.
Outdoor living is such a popular trend that the market has responded with a huge variety of products built for outdoor living, from fire pits and fireplaces to outrageously comfortable seating arrangements designed to make your outside spaces as beautiful and versatile as the inside of your home.
Two words: form and function. Many homeowners use decks as places to plant herb or container gardens, to enhance the dinner table while adding natural beauty to the outdoor décor.
