Hey Fred -Last year, we imple-
mented the “contractors”version of a popularsmall business account-ing system, but it’s beenvery disappointing - es-pecially now that busyseason is in full swing.Payroll doesn’t supportthe ability to withholdfrom different locations,and our payroll person isworking extra hard justto get things done ontime. In addition, the jobcosting is basic. We’dlike the ability to trackperformance by project
manager and profitabili-ty by type of job. At themoment, it takes a seriesof spreadsheet reportsand additional data en-try to see detailed costand billing informationon jobs. This softwarejust doesn’t work theway our business oper-ates. However, I hate thethought of looking again.What do you suggest?
- Jaime
Hey Jaime -I know that researching
new software and imple-
menting a new accountingprogram is a long process,and unfortunately, it lookslike the contractor’s ver-sion of your off the shelfpackage just isn’t hittingthe mark for your compa-ny. While it may be hard tosee right now, there is abright side right now. Younow have a much betteridea of what features anddetailed information yourcompany needs from yournext accounting softwarepackage.
So, you have a few ofoptions. Option numberone is to remain statusquo and continue to useyour off the shelf pack-age, with all its shortcom-ings, for as long as youcan stand it. I don’t nec-essarily recommend thisoption, but I do under-stand that some contrac-tors just may not beready to commit the time,money and resources
necessary to implement anew system.
The second option is tolook for a new system. Iknow that it seems like abig undertaking, espe-cially during busy sea-son, but, in the long run,a system that meets yourconstruction specificneeds may help you togrow your company.Construction specific ac-counting software worksthe way that construc-tion works. These pro-grams were built to dojob costing, and can giveyou the reports that youneed to see where yourcompany stands on eachjob, and overall. In addi-tion, they can handle thecomplexities of construc-tion payroll, like calculat-ing multiple states andlocalities. I’m sure that’ssomething your payrollperson can appreciate!
If you decide to look for
a new system, take whatyou’ve learned from yourbad experience with yourcurrent software andmake a list of all the re-quirements of your fu-ture software. Then,look at a variety of con-struction specific ac-counting packages be-fore narrowing themdown to the one that willbenefit your companythe most. Remember,the time you spend nowto find the best fit soft-ware for your companywill undoubtedly saveyou plenty of time andmoney down the road.
The third option wouldbe to locate third partyservices that may be ableto help with items likepayroll processing, re-porting, etc. Many ofthese programs will inte-grate with your account-ing software. For in-stance, some construc-
tion specific payroll serv-ices will update the gen-eral ledger and job cost-ing in your off the shelfaccounting program tokeep all your numberscorrect and up to date.
Whatever you decide,keep your company’s bestinterest in mind. Bestwishes for your success!

Ordinary people can now operatehuge construction excavators, bull-dozers and loaders for fun on Flori-da’s Gulf Coast at People at Play:
The Heavy Equipment Experience.The name is a tongue in cheek refer-ence to ‘Men at Work’ and the com-pany was launched by constructionindustry veterans as a spin off busi-ness to generate additional revenue
in Florida’s down economy.BRADENTON, FL — Many people are
fascinated when driving by a construc-tion site... they see a giant excavatordigging in the dirt, a powerful bulldozergrading the land and wonder, “What is itlike to operate one of those machines?”
Now, a new Florida based companyoffers the opportunity to experience the“thrill” of operating heavy constructionequipment firsthand; People at Play:The Heavy Equipment Experience is anew and exciting recreational offering.“We’re truly providing the ultimate out-door “hands-on” construction experi-ence in a friendly themed environment,right down to the port-a-potties! This isnot your average attraction, it’s a one ofa kind adventure where you can “play”on real excavators, bulldozers and load-ers,” said Alisa S. Bennett, who is Peo-ple at Play’s president and self-appoint-ed Hard Hat Diva.
People at Play is the brainchild of Ja-son and Alisa Bennett, owners of a site
development construction company(Bennett Contracting, Inc.) based inBradenton, FL. The Bennetts saw anopportunity to create revenue with a dif-ferent kind of business in response tothe weakened economy and decliningconstruction starts. This “spin off” busi-ness is the first of its kind in Floridaand it capitalizes on Alisa’s backgroundand experience in hospitality market-ing, as well as Jason’s constructionbackground.
“We all remember digging and movingthe sand in our sandboxes. Before now,unless you were in the construction in-dustry, you wouldn’t have the chance toharness the amazing power and strengthof an excavator that weighs 10 times asmuch as an average car. Our experi-enced trainers ensure it’s a fun andthrilling adventure for anyone age 18 orover,” said Alisa S. Bennett, president.
The entire experience is themed like aday on a construction site, where everyparticipant has to “clock-in,” wear ahard hat and a visibility vest. All partic-ipants are required to successfully com-plete a safety and equipment trainingorientation (in the job site trailer) priorto their time operating CAT excavators,skid steer loaders and bulldozers. Indi-viduals can “join the crew” at People atPlay at one of different depending onhow much time they want to spend op-erating the heavy equipment.
Packages begin at $155 per person(plus tax) for a one hour experience ona skid steer loader. Gift certificates areavailable for select programs. Partici-pants must be 18 and over. Individualsmust pre-register and book their pack-ages based on scheduled “work” days.For reservations and information call941-756-0886.
In addition to the individual pro-grams, People at Play can customizeevents and team building programs forcorporate and social groups for up to 12people. Packaging for groups includethe mandatory orientation, personalizedlogo hard hats, machine operation and
team relay events and box lunches.“There are unlimited possibilities inworking with corporate groups,” saidBennett. Forget about golf outings orcooking classes this will be the newthing corporate groups will dig — liter-ally,” laughed Bennett.
People at Play: The Heavy EquipmentExperience is a new recreational offeringwhere individuals with no experiencecan operate real construction equipmentin a fun “construction themed” environ-ment. For more information visitwww.comeplayinthedirt.com or call 941-756-0886.

by Jon M. CaseyGVM Snow Equipment, a division of
GVM Incorporated, recently exhibitedtheir new EZ Rider Snow and Ice Re-moval System, at the PA One CallSafety Day in York, PA. The EZ Rider isa compact, easy to use piece of equip-ment designed to apply salt and icecontrol products, to sidewalks andparking areas, before or after a snow
event. Designed to apply material inthree different ways, the EZ Ridergives maintenance and snow removalprofessionals an added weapon intheir wintertime arsenal.
According to Thomas Bair, vice presi-dent of GVM Snow Equipment, the EZRider was designed for day or nighttimeoperation. A 13 hp Honda engine withelectric start powers this four wheeled,
lighted unit. Its variable speed, hydro-static drive train, gives the operator thespeed control that they need for safeand reliable operation. More important-ly, the hydraulic powered salt spinnerand liquid anti-icing spray system, al-lows the operator to increase or de-crease the application speeds to meetthe needs of the job at hand. The 3 GPMpump provides plenty of capacity to ap-ply the 30 gallons of liquid that is storedin the system’s two, 15 gallon, polyeth-ylene tanks.
Bair said that the undercarriage,frame and salt hopper, are all crafted
from stainless steel. This will give theend user many years of service withoutthe corrosiveness of salt rusting thehopper. Before the snow begins to fall,or once it has been cleared, the operatorcan spread 250-pounds of salt and 30gallons of anti-icing liquid in a matter ofminutes. The 13-foot turning radiusmakes the EZ Rider a handy tool forthose tight spots that often require themost attention.
“The EZ Rider is small enough to fitthrough a 36-inch gate,” said Bair.

“With its center pivot, this machine iseasy to turn and to maneuver into tightspaces. Not only that, it’s fun to drive!”
Because the EZ Rider is outfitted withrugged, deep tread tires, when the unitis fully loaded, its 950 -pound weightmakes it a sure footed tool for the snowremoval crew. Another nice feature isthat once the snow season has passed,the EZ Rider can be cleaned up and out-
fitted to spread lime and fertilizer forlandscaping applications. That makesthe EZ Rider an excellent addition to thebusiness model that focuses on snowremoval in the winter months and land-scaping the remainder of the year.

SOUTH HAVEN, MN — Combiningsuperior quality rigid frame engineeringwith the proven benefits of tension fab-ric, Legacy Building Solutions intro-duces the industry’s first line of fabricbuildings to incorporate structural steelbeams instead of open web trusses.This new engineering concept provides
a cost effective, long lasting solution forsalt and sand storage facilities.
Legacy buildings utilize a durablerigid frame in place of the hollow tube,open web truss framing traditionallyused for fabric buildings. Unlike hollowtube steel, Legacy’s solid structuralsteel beams are not vulnerable to un-
seen corrosion originating inside a tube.Additionally, the hot dip galvanizedframework provides years of economi-cal, low maintenance use, even in themost challenging corrosive conditions.
The strength of the structural steelframe provides several engineering ad-vantages, most notably the flexibility tocustomize buildings beyond the confinesof standard sizes to the exact width,length and height required. The clearspan design offers ample clearance,even at the sidewall, to enable safeequipment operation anywhere in thebuilding. Tall peaks allow for optimalpile heights and provide enough spacefor tipping trucks to maneuver inside,while heavy duty beams support convey-ors for efficient transition of materials.
Legacy buildings feature high qualitypolyethylene fabric roofs that eliminatethe corrosion concerns associated withmetal-constructed facilities. A wide va-riety of PVC fabrics are also available.The durable fabric allows natural lightto permeate the structure, while insula-tion can be added to meet energy codeswhen required.
Installation is faster than with con-ventional buildings, and the design canbe adjusted for stationary or portableapplications. Sidewalls can be cus-tomized and built with any desired ma-terial — including steel, paneling or sid-ing — and then easily lined with fabric
for additional corrosion protection.Legacy steel components and fabric cov-ers are backed by a 15 year warranty.
Legacy offers assistance from conceptto completion, including renderings,foundation design, installation andproject management. To date, Legacy’sin-house, professional installationcrews have constructed more than 30-million-square-feet of fabric buildings.
Legacy Building Solutions specializesin the innovative design, engineering andconstruction of fabric-covered buildingsfor several different industries and appli-cations.

SWANTON, OHIO — Eat it, sleep it, breathe it. It’sa philosophy common to the hardest working individ-uals. Dedicated snow and ice industry contractorsare no exception. When a blizzard hits, even at unpre-dictable hours like those that arrive at 2 a.m., despitethe pressures of liability and safety concerns, snowand ice contractors must have a true passion for theindustry. As a third generation snow removalcontractor, Steve Fuzinski, owner of Green Sweep hasthat kind of passion.
Both Steve’s father and grandfather spent theirlives in the snow removal business, so Steve grew up
immersed in it. One might even say, “Snow is in hisblood.” With that experience, drive and love of thebusiness, he formed his own snow and ice contract-ing company: Green Sweep.
Green Sweep’s “Snow Only” policy has the compa-ny focusing exclusively on winter services. But likemany in the snow and ice removal world, Fuzinskihas roots in the green industry as well. He got hisfirst taste of the business mowing lawns as a teenag-er. However, the “snow bug” bit him at a young age,and that was where he chose to focus all his time andenergy.
Since launching the business in 1985, GreenSweep has steadily grown, and today employs morethan 300 full time people. These include plowingspecialists, office staff, mechanics, branch managersand even a meteorologist. Those employees, accord-ing to Fuzinski, are one of the major secrets to thecompany’s success. His other secret? Superior equip-ment, particularly his ever growing fleet of ArcticSnow and Ice Control’s Sectional Sno-Pushers.
“We currently operate a total of 25 Sectional Sno-Pushers, ranging from the LD models on our smallermachines like skid steers, to the larger HD models onour loaders,” he said. “They’ve played a big part inimproving our productivity, lowering costs and justallowing us to offer better service to our clients.”
Although in business for nearly three decades, itwas only two winters ago that Green Sweep acquiredSectional Sno-Pushers. At that time, Fuzinski was ona mission to find a better snow pusher. He felt hisexisting box plows were coming up short in manyareas.
“Our existing box plows were good, no doubt aboutthat, but I’m not one to settle for ‘good enough.’ Iknew there were better pushers out there and I felt wewere doing a disservice to ourselves and our clients ifwe didn’t attempt to find something better.”
That ‘something better’ was the Sectional Sno-Pusher. “Being somewhat of a technology enthusiast,I try to stay up on the latest advancements in equip-ment and designs. So I knew about the pusher, andhad heard good things from companies who wereusing it.”
As the name implies, the Sectional Sno-Pusher isbuilt in sections, with each individual moldboard nomore than 32 inches wide. While he was intrigued bythis design, he wasn’t yet convinced. Fuzinski want-ed to first test the pusher to see if it met hisstandards — and he’s the first to admit his standardsare high. So he contacted Arctic’s president, RandyStrait, who, according to Fuzinski, made him a dealto, “Try it out. Put it through the ringer.”
“He was pretty confident,” Fuzinski said. SoFuzinski accepted the offer and put the SectionalSno-Pusher to the true test — a head to head compe-tition with Green Sweep’s current box plow. The crew

took the two pushers to one of its largest customer’sfacilities, which consisted of two nearly identical lots.“We didn’t mess around, we took it to our toughestlot,” he said. “This particular lot, my guys have nick-named Pothole Heaven. It’s basically a nightmare toplow.”
Fuzinski based the contest on three major criteria:First, the effectiveness and speed of snow removal.Second, how much salt would be required. Third,could the pusher simply stand up to this harshenvironment? Not only did the Sectional pusher comeout of Pothole Heaven with no damage, according toFuzinski, “It cleared better and finished the job 15percent faster than the other box plow. It got intothose potholes and scraped away the snow and ice.”
Additionally, the crew put down one third less saltwith the Sectional Sno-Pusher compared to areasplowed by its competitor. “Thirty three percent lesssalt, that’s huge,” Fuzinski said. “And we havecontinued to track our salt usage. To date, lotsplowed with the Sectional pushers require on average33 percent less salt, so that number has stayed true.”
Fuzinski was sold. After his “plow challenge,”Fuzinski quickly purchased five more Sectional push-ers. According to him, it was more than just a moveto improve efficiency and cut down on salt usage — itwas necessary to keep his staff happy. “My guyswatched the Sectional pusher in action that first timeand they all told me they wanted one,” he laughed. “Ithink they could see how it was going to make theirjob easier and get them home in time for supper.”
His staff has reported nothing but positive remarksabout the Sectional pusher. Each individual mold-board section has its own trip edge, so rather thanthe entire pusher tripping over obstacles, like man-hole covers, and leaving behind a huge pile of snow tore-plow, just one section trips while the rest of thepusher stays on the ground. According to his staff,that one feature has played a major role in pushingefficiency, with less snow and ice to go back andre-plow.
The pusher also provides a much valued safetyfactor, crucial because, “No matter how long you’vebeen in the business and how carefully you mark offobstacles before you begin a job, eventually you’regoing to hit something. And one of those times, therewill be a serious impact,” Fuzinski explained.
Sectional Sno-Pushers include a unique Slip-Hitchdesign with mechanical, not fixed, side panels. Thecombination of the two allows the pusher to moveindependently from the machine and, upon impact,lift up and over large obstacles like medians andcurbs — saves the driver from absorbing harshimpact.
Beyond the plowing crew, Green Sweep’s mechan-ics have taken notice of the Sectional pushers too,since all of the Sno-pushers have all made it throughtheir first season or two with no damage or repairsneeded. But Fuzinski and his mechanics haveobserved the unit and noted how its design offers fastand inexpensive maintenance.
“If something is damaged, because the pusher isbuilt in sections, just the damaged section needs tobe replaced, not the whole unit,” he said. For exam-ple, if a steel cutting edge breaks, just that section ofedge needs to be replaced, which, according toFuzinski is, “Much more cost effective than replacingan entire cutting edge on, say, a ten foot pusher witha single moldboard design.”
It’s easy to see why the Sectional Sno-Pushers havebeen a welcome addition to the growing Green Sweepfamily, and become a major factor in the company’soverall growth plan.
Green Sweep is “pushing” on and continuing toserve clients in the way it knows best — with old fash-ioned hard work, dedication and commitment andeating, sleeping and breathing snow. For more infor-mation on Arctic Sectional Sno-Pushers, visit theirwebsite at www.sectionalpusher.com or give them acall at 888-242-3766.
The Arctic Sno-Pusher is the perfect tool for clearing runways at airports or large outdoor parking facilities.
Visitors to the 15th Annual Snow and Ice Symposium in Buffalo, NY got a closer look at the Arctic Sno-Pusher'ssectional design as Steve Sepaniak, director of Sales and Marketing (center) gives them the details.

Congress Street Bridgeover Hudson River un-
der wayNew York State Depart-
ment of TransportationCommissioner Joan Mc-Donald announced thatconstruction has begunon a $19.9 million con-tract to replace the bridgedecks on 11 structures inthe Capital Districtthrough Governor An-drew M. Cuomo’s NYWorks program.
Commissioner McDon-ald was joined by electedofficials at a press con-ference in Troy to high-light work on the Con-gress Street Bridge be-tween Troy, RensselaerCounty, and Watervliet,Albany County.
“Governor Cuomo’s NY
Works program speedsup our bridge and high-way reconstruction ef-forts and puts peopleback to work,” Commis-sioner McDonald said“The traveling public willsee nearly twice as muchhighway work than justlast year. We ask mo-torists to be patient anddrive carefully throughconstruction zones.”
With the announce-ment, construction hasbegun on another NYWorks bridge improve-ment project only threemonths after GovernorCuomo signed the 2012-2013 Budget allowingfunding for these projectsto move forward.
NY Works focuses onimproving the condition
of bridges from fair togood to extend their serv-ice life. This rehabilita-tion work will better pre-serve the state’s infra-structure and guardagainst the need for morecostly, in-depth construc-tion. Bundling projectsites within close geo-graphic locations into asingle contract enablesDOT to lower expensesand obtain lower bids forconstruction.
As part of the NY Workscontract, constructioncontractor Bette & Cringof Latham, Albany Coun-ty, has begun work to re-place the deck on theCongress Street Bridge,carrying Route 2 over In-terstate 787 and theHudson River between
Watervliet and Troy.Congressman Paul
Tonko said, “By rebuild-ing our roads andbridges, we not only im-prove our infrastructureand help our businesscommunity move goodsand products, but we alsocreate jobs. Seeing con-struction signs or coneson the road is a reminderthat New Yorkers are get-ting back to work, specifi-cally in the constructionindustry, a sector thatwas hit so hard duringthe Great Recession. Iwas proud to support thereauthorization of theHighway Trust Fund justlast week, and will contin-ue to fight for investments
