					  <description><![CDATA[The average profit margin on a typical construction project is 5% to 10%. That's a pretty small return on investment, especially when you take into consideration the multitude of problems that could occur on a day to day basis. Managing every job site is critical to the financial health of any construction contractor. <BR>
<BR>

					  <description><![CDATA[Have you ever wondered what it's like to be a construction worker? From the moment we get up, our day is in stark contrast to that of a typical office job.

<BR>
If you were a construction worker, this is how your morning would begin:<BR>
<BR>
It all starts when the alarm clock goes off anywhere from 4:00am to 4:30am.]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[I was a construction worker in the southern California area for almost 20 years. During that time, I worked as a fire sprinkler fitter through a local union based out of Whittier. I designed, installed, and repaired automatic fire sprinkler systems in homes, restaurants, high-rises, and warehouses all over the Los Angeles area. <BR>
<BR>
At the time, the money was fantastic.]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[If you have ever signed a contract for a home remodel, then you know how frustrating it can be when working with a general contractor and his entire team of subcontractors. As a former contractor in the Los Angeles area, I know exactly what you are up against when you hire a builder to work on your house. <BR>

					  <description><![CDATA[There are many available types of pipe for the pipefitting trades. I've worked with all of them. From black steel to blue brute underground piping, you name it and I've installed it at one time or another around the Los Angeles area. While you may think if you have seen one type of pipe then you have seen them all, think again. The wrong pipe installed in the wrong location can spell financial and structural disaster in just a few short months.]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[When a contractor estimates a construction project - such as a new commercial store or perhaps a home remodel, the estimate is based on total labor hours, plans and permits, and material. By far, labor hours will always be the bulk of the estimate. <BR>
<BR>
Depending on the type of work performed and where the work is being performed, labor hours can make a project exceptionally costly.]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[When you decide to remodel your kitchen, you are taking on a tremendous task that could easily have disastrous results. Before you pickup that hammer and start demolishing the old cabinets and counter tops, you really need to sit down and figure out exactly what you want from your new kitchen. The kitchen is too important of a room for you to just "throw together".]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[A kitchen remodel is a serious matter that should be well thought-out and planned down to the last square inch. If you're married or otherwise sharing a kitchen and you plan to remodel, I warn you now: you are entering dangerous territory! You could end up divorced, separated, or suffer long-lasting resentment from your partner!
