One of the most profitable ways for any business to grow is
to offer related products to the same customer base it already
has. Another way is to be able to cost-effectively do the work
that they had to subcontract out before.
Most concrete contractors already include damproofing or
waterproofing of foundations in their bids to general contractors
and developers. Most of them also farm out this work to a
waterproofing subcontractor. Wouldn't it be great if the concrete
contractor could do this work themselves and keep the extra
profit? In addition, they could offer it proactively on tighter
bids where the generals were going to sub it out on their
own!
The Mar-Flex® Waterproofing System allows them to do
just that. "Damproofing and waterproofing operations
can be profit centers for concrete contractors," says
Joe Owens, Midwest Regional Manager for Mar-Flex® Waterproofing
Systems. Mar-Flex manufactures and distributes a complete
equipment system package for this application, including installation
of the equipment in your vehicle and jobsite application training.
With an investment in a dedicated vehicle and the equipment,
a concrete contractor can "break-even" after damproofing
about 250 foundations. With over half of the basements today
being converted to lower living space, waterproofing at the
time of construction is becoming more and more popular with
new home buyers for future warmth and comfort. The system
will pay for itself right around 150 waterproofing jobs.
"This operation does NOT require another full time worker,
so the concrete contractor should be able to get more profit
dollars with the same crew size," says Owens. "It's
really a slam dunk for higher volume concrete contractors."
