Take Control of your Materials:
This session explores how procurement standardization, supplier coordination, and material visibility directly affect growth capacity, margin predictability, and operational performance for electrical and mechanical contractors. Many firms rely on fragmented tools and relationship-driven processes to manage purchasing, which can create hidden margin erosion, schedule delays, and administrative drag as they scale.
We will examine where procurement breakdowns typically occur, how they impact field and office alignment, and what changes when pricing and material data become visible in real time. Attendees will leave with a practical framework to evaluate their current workflows and identify opportunities to increase operational leverage without disrupting contractor culture.

Lunch & Learn: Labor Operations Master Class hosted by Rivet
2026-08-11 12:30 - 13:30 | Zoom Video Conference
Location: Zoom Video Conference (register here)

Labor is the #1 risk or reward on projects; from chaos to control. The chaos of labor planning is costing contractors more than ever; but should be their greatest opportunity. The Labor Operations Master Class shares industry best practices and repeatable strategies to take control of labor planning, forecasting and productivity.
Join RIVET who will share industry-best practices around labor planning (forecasting, scheduling, productivity/WIP-alignment, team processes, etc.) accumulated from hundreds of self-performing contractors across the globe. This Labor Operations Master Class is a chance for contractors to learn industry trends and best practices around labor operations; as well as areas of opportunity where labor profits are typically lost, or uncovered. What members will learn in this course:

Labor Exit-Strategies: Team plans for ramp-down & aligning labor to the WIP to combat profit-fade
Job Saturation & Compression: Early-warnings & mitigation measures for job saturation & compression
The Labor Planning Triangle: From ‘project watchers’ to ‘project managers’
