t's important to think hard about your bottom line when
you're in business. You won't be profitable or stay in business
very long without keeping track of your expenses and revenues. It's
also true that fixating on your costs and cutting too many corners
can create expensive mistakes.
This issue is about ensuring your shop's success by achieving quality
results using quality materials. It's also about finding ways to strategically
save on outlays and expenses when and where it makes sense.
" A clear view on windows " discusses how to choose materials that
achieve client goals while also supporting the design intention of the
fabricator. Estimating job costs and establishing accurate pricing are
the foundational skills of running a successful marine fabrication
business. " Getting a grip " explores the financial strategies of three
fabricators and how they adapted over time as their skills improved,
their businesses grew and outside factors affected their bottom lines.
The " 2023 Premier Product Showcase " includes 56 high-quality
marine products that will help you fabricate excellent projects that
create a buzz at the marina and attract additional high-quality business.
Mike Charlton, Charlton's Marine Canvas, discusses the challenges
and strategies of fabricating center console enclosures, and Russ
Griffin, Northcoast Marine Specialties LLC, drills down into how to
choose the right fabric for a particular project to ensure stellar results.
The wise fabricators in this issue
point out that there is no single strategy
that guarantees profits. According to
one fabricator, " If you ask 100 canvas
makers how they estimate jobs, you'll
likely get 90 different answers. " While
there is no one strategy that ensures
success, focusing on quality standards
and products rather than on cutting
corners is likely to serve you better over
time. As Italian designer Aldo Gucci
once said, " Quality is remembered long
after price is forgotten. "
