 What is it?
The LaDuke Building Project Management System is a comprehensive process management tool that will allow you to maintain control of the every aspect of a building project, from planning through completion.  By systematically laying out all the information for a project in sequence, you’ll be able to plan and instantly view any construction project in its entirety.

Why do I need this system?
This system will help you build trust with your customers and win new business by giving you the tools to properly evaluate, plan, price, schedule and deliver every project on time and at budget.

Designed by master builder, Craig Laduke, and refined over 27 years, this system will help builders and project managers keep absolute control of every phase of the project. Set up the system just one time and use it as a ‘next step’ outline for every project you start.  At any given time you’ll know where you stand as to schedule and budget, what’s been done, and what needs to happen next.  You, your project manager, and your customer will all know where you are and what comes next according to your schedule, greatly reducing confusion, missed deadlines and material discrepancies (those things that cause customers to panic), and virtually eliminating change orders. 

How does it work?
The system is based on a series of ‘next steps’ that encompass the entire building process.  It starts with a Feasibility Study – a simple set of questions that will help you qualify customers as to their budget, their needs and wants, and the overall scope of the project.  Based on their answers to these questions, your customer will be able to see clearly exactly what size, style and level of home they should expect, given their finances, and will allow you to help them choose a plan and style that you can build within their budget.

Once you’ve arrived at a plan and building site (if applicable), the system will prompt you and your customers to choose styles, materials, colors, and options for specific pricing, including many items that are often left until later in the project to choose.  This will allow you to give accurate pricing and scheduling up front, and it will help your customers prioritize the options and amenities that go into the initial pricing.  This will help you eliminate the surprise and disappointment that so often occurs with critical choices are left until later in the project and funds have already been used in other places.  The result is that you are able to deliver a finished home that meets or exceeds your customer’s expectations, and do so with fewer changes and in less time.  Bottom line:  Higher profits and happier customers.

What’s included in the System?
The LaDuke Building Project Management System includes:

  • Sequential 65-section 3-ring binder system and detailed instructions
  • 5 Sample construction contracts
  • Calendar and flow-chart builders
  • Project check lists and information prompts
  • CD with all forms and contracts
  • Unlimited rights to use the systems on with all your construction projects

What will I need to get the system up and running?
Just add information specific to your local area (such as state and local codes, snow/wind/seismic loads, etc.), additional points you want added to your contracts (have your attorney review all sample contracts supplied before use), your current materials suppliers and component costs, and your company name, logo, and contract information, and your ready to go.  The forms on the CD can all be opened and edited in Microsoft Word for ease of use and printing.

Cost.
The LaDuke Building Project Management System is sure to save you thousands of dollars per project by allowing you to effectively plan, price and schedule projects better than you’ve ever done before, and by reducing or eliminating overruns, missed deadlines, change orders and customer confusion. Craig is making the system available now at an introductory price of just $1,295 - a price you’ll easily recover the first time you use it.
