August Foreman Upgrade Training
Financial Acumen for the Field
Every day, teams make decisions that directly affect whether a job makes money or loses it — like crew time, change orders, rework and overtime. Led by former SMACNA National President Angie Simon, this 4-hour hands-on session gives forepersons the financial awareness to make smarter field calls: reading job cost reports, tracking labor productivity, protecting change orders and flagging problems before they become expensive.
Using real-world examples and scenarios, attendees will work through situations like a productivity factor trending 50% over budget, a GC super who wants work done before the paperwork exists and how to think through an overtime decision. Participants will leave with ready-to-use tools that you can put to work right away.
