Additional NOTES:
Hi Eva
Just adding to our conversation yesterday with respect to an Assistant for us with Administration / Projects etc. In addition to what we talked about yesterday here are some specific tasks that would be immediately (or in the near future) required.
Develop systems and processes to improve current work flows on individual projects. Currently all this in Blakes head. It needs to be clear exactly who what and where each project is up to. If we think that Blake is sick and cannot work we need to be able to open a project folder and understand what contractors are working onsite their exact details what is the schedule of the work they are doing what are their payment schedules etc. This would need to be set up and continuously updated. We also need to be clear on the payment schedules of clients. We need someone who is able to compile this system and continually work on it. Accurate information is critical.
A Forward Planner needs to be constantly worked on so that we understand what and where not only current projects are doing but also what is lining up for the future.
It would be ideal if someone has an understanding of Scope of Works documents and Material Take off knowledge and be able to isolate individual components and commence requesting pricing information from suppliers.
We need a centralised filing system created so that in any situation we are able to locate documents names issues etc
To summarise we are moving from an individual builder arrangement to a company Construction company and looking for someone who can work with Blake and myself to grow this business. Forward orders are extremely good and 2026 will be a year of change growth and success.
Please feel free to email any question and I will respond asap. I will attend to your payment request asap.
In closing we need to build a robust admin system that gives us a clear understanding of the current work and financial situation but also a system that would enable a person who has no knowledge of the business to have folders of information that clearly outline financial and operational details.
This is the challenge!
