Personnel participation by Estimators, Surveyors and Admin support staff all deployed in the simplistic yet time consuming process of "document replication" to the supply chain, is arguably a very expensive and inefficient use of such valuable staff.
On average these activities cost a company £0.25p per page to action and up to £1.50 per drawing as many times as required to the supply chain, which means essential funds is being spent with external toxic suppliers to your business.
All of the above activities are silent costs that occur within the business. Occurring on a daily basis sometimes for multiple projects the costs as they filter into the profit and loss accounts of a business can seriously damage the financial health of a business. and in times of such economic uncertainty should be issued as a government health warning to your business.
