Work Smarter, Not Harder
Jonny is a builder managing a team of chippies. For years, Jonny relied on his team to handle the installation of floor protection on his job sites, believing it was the best approach to ensure floors were safeguarded during construction.
Despite his efforts, managing floor protection installation was a consistent source of inefficiency and frustration for Jonny:
Material Planning Issues: Jonny had to manually calculate material quantities with pen and paper. Inevitably, he would either underestimate and need to make additional trips to the hardware store or overestimate, leaving excess material to return or throw away.
Time and Labour Inefficiencies: Jonny had to repeatedly explain the importance of site preparation and the correct installation process to his team. Despite this, mistakes were made, and the process often took longer than planned, adding to labour costs and project cost over runs.
Waste Costs: Excess materials often ended up in the site bin, consuming valuable space and effectively doubling Jonny’s costs—once for the wasted materials and again for the increased bin usage.
These challenges were not only time-consuming but also negatively impacted Jonny’s budget and workflow.
After a conversation with our team, Jonny decided to partner with Protection Lab to simplify his floor protection process. Protection Lab now handles everything, offering an easy, fast, and efficient booking service tailored to his projects.
Since working with Protection Lab, Jonny has seen significant improvements:
Streamlined Operations: No more manual calculations, wasted materials, or extra trips to the hardware store. Protection Lab provides precisely what’s needed for each project, every time.
Time Savings: With floor protection taken off his team’s plate, Jonny’s chippies can focus on carpentry work, improving productivity and ensuring projects stay on schedule.
Cost Efficiency: By eliminating waste and avoiding material overages, Jonny has reduced unnecessary expenses and maximized his budget.
Peace of Mind: The consistent and reliable service from Protection Lab means Jonny no longer has to worry about errors or inefficiencies.
By outsourcing floor protection to Protection Lab, Jonny has transformed a frustrating and inefficient process into a seamless part of his workflow. His projects now run smoother, stay on budget, and allow his team to focus on their core tasks. Life’s good for Jonny—and his site bins are a lot emptier, too!
