Building Industry Magazine - June 2011 - (Page 4)

DATEBOOK American Institute of Architects, Honolulu chapter • Green Schools Symposium Task Force. June 1; noon to 1 p.m. AIA Honolulu Office - Red Room. Relevant Change In the April issue of Building Industry magazine, we quietly introduced a new column entitled Best Practices, written by Garrett Sullivan, who recently opened his own consulting firm, Sullivan & Associates, Inc. The column is intended to provide advice on the “best management practices” of running a constructionrelated business in Hawaii. The column has received great positive feedback. Please take some time to read this month’s contribution, which summarizes the results of the 2010 financial survey of the Construction Financial Management Association. To further entice you, here’s a chart that compares the survey’s Best in Class contractors with average contractors in a number of categories. You’ll find Best Practices on page 43.

And if you’d like to have your project featured in our “Picture of the Week,” please send me your current jobsite photos (along with a brief description of the project), and we’ll try to include it in what we hope will become a popular element of the site.
