The HOA screwed my CUSTOMER. #1

What happens here

Tim arrives with a dump trailer filled with fill soil. The team discusses the best way to unload the soil, opting to dump it on the edge of the paved driveway due to space constraints and the need to preserve the grass. They carefully position the trailer to avoid damaging the driveway. The mini loader then assists by pushing the pile further back into the yard, away from the immediate work area. The presenter reiterates the value of the mini loader for its ability to minimize damage to the turf and its maneuverability in tight spaces, which allows them to efficiently complete tasks that would otherwise require extensive manual labor or cause more significant disruption. He emphasizes that the daily rental/lease cost of such equipment must be factored directly into the project's overall expenses as part of effective job costing.

Goal: Receive and stage fill soil for regrading the settled area.

tim thinks it was meant to be all right joey's got the area looking pretty sharp that will end up we don't have to worry too much about getting all the little rocks out because it's structural fill so we'll reuse them i think we got to go move a set of forks up in the front of the yard tim's got the dirt here okay so we'll get uh he's figuring out exactly where we're gonna dump it all right here we go camera's yours the ability to get into and out of this job while doing minimal turf damage helped us to land this project meaning that the next competition that came in to do this might have calculated using a skid loader and every time a skid loader would turn or move on this turf would basically rip and tear up this grass also a skid loader would have less maneuverability because it would be stuck to dedicated turf mats or a dedicated safety rope by being able to use a mini loader or specialty piece of equipment like this it allows us to do the job faster which allows us to pass the savings on to the customer which helps us to land more projects but here's the antithesis to that you might not have a specialty piece of equipment that can do what you need to do but that doesn't mean you don't have access to it you can rent one or you can lease one and if you do go down that path you need to account for the daily rental fee or the daily lease fee of that piece of equipment while it's on your project and directly expense that out of the overall cost of the job or initially add that into your estimate so there's a lot of factors that have to go into place before you can start throwing out typical numbers but when you have a little bit of an edge like that it does help you to land more jobs get your load out oh i'll get my load off we go a little bit more down with it okay tim go ahead get your load off all right not really making a difference is it no it doesn't it doesn't make that much of a difference i just don't wanna don't let me nick the driver okay then you're gonna have to speed some of this up you can't go any further forward without hitting that driveway look he's already look at look at see that trailer yanked all that grass out yeah that sucked i'll turn around come up and back in this way maybe that'll work huh oh yeah that'll work you can go all the way uh out to the street and turn around and come in don't know how i'm going to turn around otherwise no we're back here to turn around all right over the next three days we're going to detail break…
