WEBINAR DESCRIPTION
What construction manager wouldn't want their team to be 68% more productive? That's what the industry research shows embracing cloud-based technology - and ditching the paper for apps like Autodesk BIM 360 Docs - can result in. This is great news for the construction industry, which has been struggling with decreasing margins and increasing complexity for years. Using clod-based technology and sound planning to guide the process, rework reduction represents one of the best ways for a construction company and/or a subcontractor to remain profitable. Join the ABC and Autodesk for a live webcast that will dive deeper into the five ways many GC's are putting substantial savings back in their own pockets.

WEBINAR DESCRIPTION
Learn ways leading employers are significantly reducing the time spent on payroll and the administration of employee benefit programs while reducing errors and enhancing compliance and effectiveness. Traditional payroll service providers are not prepared to handle the unique needs of contractors and can struggle with common tasks such as submitting certified payroll reports and prevailing wage calculations. Growing construction firms that leverage systems and processes designed to meet multiple jurisdictional requirements (multiple county prevailing wage rates for example) are better able to compete and win more business.

Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) today commended the U.S. House of Representatives for passing legislation (H. J. Res. 37) that will block implementation of the Obama administration’s Fair Pay and Safe Workplaces Executive Order 13673, commonly referred to as “blacklisting,” through the Congressional Review Act (CRA).
Implementation of the blacklisting rule’s reporting and disclosure requirements was temporarily blocked on Oct. 24, 2016, when a U.S. District Court judge for the Eastern District of Texas ruled in favor of ABC’s lawsuit and granted a preliminary injunction against the reporting provisions of the rule, which were scheduled to take effect Oct. 25, 2016. Under the CRA, Congress may pass a resolution of disapproval to prohibit a federal agency from implementing a rule without congressional authorization with a majority vote in both houses of Congress.
