v ABOUT STRUCTURE SUMMARIES and FLY CONSULTING: · Fly Consulting started with an idea to provide low cost quantity take offs and estimating for small to medium sized contractors who needed these services due to a variety of reasons. One, most small contractors have such a demand on their time for supervision, payroll, jobsite management, among just a few items · Fly Consulting started as "assistance" to a former employer that recognized the value of "part-time" estimators, or consultants, and in a very short time came to a legal agreement with Fly Consulting. · Fly Consulting offers a comprehensive range of services to support contractors, including, but not limited to, pre-and post construction scheduling, pre and post construction quantity reports, Gantt charts for scheduling requirements, and information gathering. · Prior to Fly Consulting, Mark A. Fly worked in the construction industry for 30 years. Coming up through the trenches he began estimating for General Contractors and sub contractors and providing project management for both areas. He soon realized the computer would revolutionize the business, making it easier and efficient to run a small to medium sized construction company. However, it soon became clear that many of these companies were not going to change. Either due to distrust or ignorance in the computer field. He quickly started publishing spreadsheets and databases for those he worked with and was still surprised that no one would invest in expanding the capabilities of the available technology. He is currently efficient in Microsoft Office, ACT!, On Screen Take Off, Quick Bid, and many other Construction Related Programs. o Mark says: "If I see an opportunity regarding new software on the market that would benefit the needs of small to medium sized contractors, I will always utilize it to it's fullest capacity, and, in turn, evaluate the learning curve and benefits it may have. All the while keeping the same target market budget in mind. o Are you small contractor that does your own estimating (often after normal business hours?) Or perhaps you do not have complete detailed take-offs for jobs that you bid, because you did not have adequate time to complete it. o Are you a mid-size contractor that maybe could justify a full-time estimator part of the time? Or are you in the "growth mode" and are not yet ready for a full time estimator? o Are you a larger contractor that has estimators on staff that are on vacation, medical leave, or just plain overloaded? Fly Consulting can assist on those short deadline or large scale projects that often tie up your entire staff, thus limiting your ability to continue running your business." v Fly Consulting can provide the above services as well as the following: Ø Breakdown of Materials in easy to read CSI Format Ø Breakdown of Labor in easy to read CSI Format Ø Simple Material Quantities for Bid Qualifications Ø Assistance with many online ITB Management Systems Ø Schedules in Microsoft Project format Ø Proposals to Clients |
