Forecasting the start up timing of your concrete project

I once heard a great baseball saying “if you don’t keep score, nobody wins, nobody loses and nobody cares”. You need to know and set the goals for startup timing or it is like not keeping score in baseball and it will cost you money and time.

It is not uncommon for concrete companies today to plan 2-3 years in advance of their target start up dates on concrete projects.  Many concrete machines are purchased used to avoid the extra expense of new equipment. Many of the issues take years to confirm before actual cement equipment and buildings can even be ordered. Keep in mind the amount of time the equipment supplier will need to manufacture ship, install and trouble-shoot your equipment.
