SUMMARY:SBA's Surety Bond Guarantee Program 2/14 Virtual
DESCRIPTION:SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION’S SURETY BOND GUARANTEE PROGRAM\nPlease note: registration will close at 9:00AM on Thursday\, February 13.\nFriday\, February 14\, 2025  |  10:00AM – 11:00AM  |  Virtual\nUnder the Surety Bond Guarantee Program\, the Small Business Administration (SBA) guarantees bid\, performance\, and payment surety bonds issued by certain surety companies. This webinar is a must for any small business that is in need of bid\, performance\, or payment bonds. SBA guarantees contract bonds but does not guarantee commercial bonds. Contract bonds ensure the terms of a specific contract are fulfilled. \nKey Takeaways\n• Alternative Bonding Option: The SBA’s Surety Bond Guarantee Program offers an alternative avenue for small businesses to obtain contract bonds if they don’t meet traditional bonding requirements.\n• Increased Access to Contract Bonds: The program accommodates contracts up to $9 million for non-federal contracts and up to $14 million for federal contracts\, making it easier for small businesses to access contract bonds.\n• Reduced Working Capital Requirements: The SBA’s program requires about half the working capital typically needed for contract surety bonds\, making it more accessible to small businesses with limited resources. \nThe SBA is an agency of the Federal Government established in 1953 to aid\, counsel\, assist and protect the interests of small business concerns\, to preserve free competitive enterprise and to maintain and strengthen the overall economy of our nation. Nationwide\, SBA delivered $56 billion to small businesses and disaster-impacted communities in Fiscal Year 2024 (FY24). \nSPEAKER\nFord Scott\, Lender Relations Specialist\, U.S. Small Business Administration – Ford is responsible for marketing and providing hands-on assistance with SBA loan guaranty programs to lenders\, economic development organizations and prospective small business borrowers\, throughout Virginia. He received a Bachelor’s degree in Mathematical Sciences from Virginia Commonwealth University. \nLOCATION\nVirtual\nA Teams meeting link will be sent to registered attendees within 24 hours of webinar. \nCOST\nFree (registration required in order to receive Teams link) \nQuestions?\nContact Jamie Carrow

SUMMARY:Bluebeam Construction Estimating Principles and Application 1/14
DESCRIPTION:Bluebeam Construction Estimating Principles and Application (Virtual)\nTuesday\, January 14\, 2025  |  1:00PM-5:00PM\nGreat Estimators know that to be competitive and competent in the current market\, their companies must continually be in search of an edge. “How can we approach this project differently than our competition?” This virtual interactive training workshop is scheduled in two half-day sessions. \nTrack 1 – The Estimating Principles Behind Every Bid:\nThis open forum discussion led by a panel of experienced construction estimators explores advanced elements of construction estimating. Experienced estimators will be challenged to evaluate their own systems within the framework of current trends and models with an emphasis on Bluebeam. Every topic will be discussed from various perspectives to allow Estimators from across the spectrum to benefit. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nCost/Price analysis\nPricing project constraints\nHow to build flexibility into your system\nOptimum time to complete\nEscalation\nManaging risk within the estimate\nDanger zones to avoid\n\nTrack 2 – How Technology Can Produce Faster\, More Accurate Estimates:\nOftentimes simply being more visual in your bid scope can put you ahead of the competition by showing you truly understand the project. Each day we’ll spend some time demonstrating how technology can not only replace your highlighters\, scales\, and calculator\, but fluid company standards for you and your team. With an emphasis on Bluebeam Revu\, these digital tools and workflows will produce clear\, visual markups that are accurate\, predictable\, and consistent no matter who on the team uses them. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nWorking with PDF drawings\nCalibrating drawings\nMeasurement tools\nCustom measurement tools\nDisplaying and exporting data\n\nInstructor: Troy DeGroot\, Bluebeam Certified Instructor\, UChapter2 | Owner\nAs a Bluebeam Certified Consultant\, Bluebeam Certified Instructor\, and Implementation Specialist\, Troy travels the country training over 2\,000 students annually with customized tools and workflows.
