CBO and Viewpoint Construction Software Present Free Webinar: ‘To Live and Die by Change Order Management’

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (May 15, 2015)—Construction Business Owner, the leading business management magazine for contractors, is pleased to announce a free webinar presented in partnership with Viewpoint Construction Software.

The live online event, “To Live and Die by Change Order Management,” will take place June 23, 2015, at 1 p.m. EST. Registration is free at constructionbusinessowner.com/webinars.

Studies show that labor productivity decreases as the frequency of change orders increases. Coupled with other uncontrollable project issues, project margins begin to suffer.

Construction companies depend on change orders to drive profit—sometimes to the extent of bidding below cost in the expectation that change orders will drive a project from the red to the black. However, so many of the same companies have such inadequate change order management processes that they are, at best, leaving money on the table or, at worst, setting themselves up for business failure.

During the webinar, attendees will learn how to drive profits by having a change order management strategy through proactive measurements. Click here to watch a short video sharing some of Schoppman’s change order management tips before the live event.

The one-hour live webinar event includes a 45-minute presentation by Schoppman, followed by a 15-minute question and answer session. Attendees will receive a “Best Practices Guide” for change order management, compliments of Viewpoint Construction Software.
