Tax planning is imperative if your business has new or planned construction projects for the next year. Successful tax planning requires a keen interest in the details of your business, as well as a proactive approach to available federal and state tax incentives. Fortunately, construction firms can potentially qualify for many tax incentives.

Several years ago we started using PlanGrid (a cloud-based system) and we now use it on every job. Our project managers upload plans/specs, reports and schedules on their particular projects, and the mobile app syncs with online document management software, allowing us to access all our files from anywhere that has WiFi.
Prior to PlanGrid, the PM’s tendency was to pile every printed version of the plans into the car before heading to the job site. Superintendents had all this info stacked in job trailer, taking up space and confusing folks trying to determine the most current set. Now everything they need is filed neatly on the iPad. I asked them to share a few advantages of this paperless system:
Beyond the data for the project itself, we can also access every drawing for every project that the company and has worked on in the last couple of years. As one PM eloquently said, “And I can do all of this while standing in the mud at a job site.” Priceless. Maybe something to consider for others in the real estate business.

If you have not researched or previously purchased compact loaders or excavators, you may be surprised at the amount of innovation and smart technologies available in today’s machines. Depth guidance systems for compact excavators, grading systems for compact loaders and continued refinements to the instrument panels are three technologies that have helped make these machines considerably more and productive. via Blogger Innovations Spurs Productivity Gains Whether you are a veteran business owner or a newbie, now is more important than ever to understand emerging compact equipment technologies.

As a quick refresher, the ELD rule, passed by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) in early 2016 mandates fleet owners recording hours of service (HOS) to install ELDs in their commercial motor vehicles weighing more than 10,000 pounds. via Tumblr Don’t Spot-Treat ELD Mandate Compliance On Thursday evening, I was invited to a dinner with Raphael Bostic at the Birmingham Branch of the Atlanta Federal Reserve. In June, Raphael took over the reins as president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, after a professorship at USC and distinguished career. As Raphael began his remarks, he offered an antidotal story about teaching a class at USC. A portion of his students were listening to his talk and the rest were either focused on smart phones or wished they were elsewhere. Raphael contrasted this to speaking at his first FOMC this summer where every governor listened intently to what he had to say, as they did with one another. I was impressed with his openness and transparency as he talked about his job goals, ambitions and the initiatives he would like to put in place for the region. A few thoughts shared:
While these are changing times–full of fear, world disruption and a zillion other things–our parents and grandparents during the Depression and a World War would have gladly changed places with us.
