Feasibility Report
Builder Pros

MEMORANDUM

To: John Keesler, Owner
From: Deborah Fletcher
Date: Monday, February 4, 2013

Subject: Tow Behind Concrete Mixer

SUMMARY

This feasibility report is to determine whether Builder Pros will benefit by purchasing a new tow behind concrete mixer. Builder Pros is a subcontracted construction company. On average, Builder Pros pours six concrete slabs per month. By purchasing a tow behind concrete mixer, Builder Pros can reduce man hours by 16 hours per job. Currently, the process of hand mixing the concrete requires 3 people to complete the job. This machine will allow one person to keep up with the cure time for small projects, rather than three.

You have three to choose from. * 9198 Multiquip Whiteman WM120PHD 12 cubic ft Honda Gas Poly Drum Mortar Mixer * 9197 Multiquip Whiteman WM120SHHD 12 cubic ft Honda Gas Steel Drum Mortar Mixer * 1098 Crown 12SH Hydraulic Mortar Mixer

I recommend you purchase the 9197 Multiquip Whiteman WM120SHHD12 cubic ft Honda Gas Steel Drum Mortar Mixer.

INTRODUCTION

Builder Pros was established ten years ago. During the past decade, Builder Pros has grown into a profitable sub-contractor business. Builder Pros employees have experience in all types of construction. One job they often get hired for is to pour concrete slabs. These slabs can be used for bike racks, curbs or parking lots. In the summer of 2012, Builder Pros averaged six pours per month for three months. Due to the process of hand mixing, three employees were required to be present for the pours for five days during the curing process.

By purchasing a tow behind concrete mixer, we can eliminate two of the employees per job, thereby reducing man hours. Also, one person can complete the pour in three days instead of five. This is a reduction of 96 man hours. At 17 dollars an hour, this will save Builder Pros $1,632 per concrete pour. I conducted this feasibility report with a $6,500 budget.

    Cee 201 Final Project

    • 2071 Words
    • 9 Pages

    Introduction What a better way to end the year in CEE 201 with a construction project that deals with bidding. Our studies throughout the year have been focused upon engineering economics transitioning into linear programming models in order for engineers to make educated decisions in real life situations. In order to supplement this thought process, the construction game was created that deals with placing bids, ordering labor, and hiring workers to make a year’s end profit. This game is structured around placing bids against other teams within the class for three rounds over three years. If the bid is won for your team, your company completes the project and the profit is later computed. As with every reasonable game, there are rules to be followed. Each team has secured a capital of ten million dollars total for the three fiscal years. Before bids are placed, your company must purchase all the concrete and labor that will be required throughout the year. Unused money will increase by four percent each year in the stock market while additional funds beyond the ten million venture of capital funding will be secured via a loan with a ten percent annual interest rate. With purchasing concrete and construction workers, there are constraints to find certain values. Each construction worker will work up to two thousand hours per year and receive an annual salary of fifty thousand dollars. Unions demand that hired workers are paid whether they are actually put to work or not and the unions have agreed that workers may divide their hours of labor between multiple projects. Each cubic yard of concrete costs one hundred dollars and includes cost of purchase and transportation. Unused labor does not carry over into the following year, but concrete does. Unused concrete can be salvaged for ten dollars per cubic yard at the end of year three. Unused labor will be sold to a temporary agency for fifteen dollars an…

    Unicon is a major player in the flourishing Hong Kong market for pre-cast concrete products and Mr. Li, the deputy managing director is pursuing the idea of “blanket” approval for Unicon’s custom design concrete products with one of it’s largest customers, the Hong Kong Housing Authority. This proposition could offer savings to both Unicon and the customer but this could adversely affect the relations with other customers and the manufacturing operations. If Unicon is to stay competitive in the ever expanding market, management must have a plan to expand capacity. This will become necessary to fend off new competition from mainland China.…

    Joshua McVay has just purchased a new home located in Sacramento California. As with most homes, the developer did not complete the back yard landscaping. No lawn, patio, or shrubbery were constructed in the back yard by the developer. The back yard was filled with dirt and is flat. McVay has chosen to contract with John Thomas, an independent contractor to complete a concrete pad in his back yard for a covered patio. McVay chose Thomas after obtaining three different quotes from three different concrete construction masonry companies. Thomas was the lowest bidder between the three companies that McVay surveyed. All of the companies were licensed appropriately and all had more than ten years of experience in the field of masonry.…

    Mr. Li has an opportunity with Unicon to direct it in a new focused direction. With its competitive advantage it has established with the Hong Kong Housing Authority (HKHA).

    When concrete is poured it contracts and heats up. This means that you cannot pour a whole lot all at one time or it will take years to dry if it is a big enough structure that you are building. A good example of this is the hoover dam which used over 3.3 million yards on concrete in the making of it. A common misconception is that they poured all the concrete at one time and waited for it to dry if they would of did it this way with all the heat that would have built up it would have taken over 125 years for it all to dry.…
