Through our offshoot buyer’s group, the CNBA, we are able to gain better pricing on materials and equipment, saving on cost margins and increasing profitability.
As a Pavement Network member, you ensure that your paving business remains a leader in our industry.
Information Technology
Process Matters
Do you struggle with your employee time cards? With your accounting and estimating software? How about your Customer Relationship Management program? Ever wonder if you're all alone in your frustration, or if there might be a better way?
Advantage Buying in Bulk
Because we can operate as a collective, we can order and purchase materials in far greater bulk than we could do individually. As a result, we can reduce the per-unit cost, resulting in an additional 10-15% savings.
Equipment
Opportunity for great equipment.
Maybe you're looking to upgrade and need a reliable buyer for your old equipment, or you're looking to partner up with another company to get a volume discount on purchasing multiple units of new equipment. Pavement Network can help.
Best Practices
Keep current. Stay relevant.
At our annual meetings and monthly check-ins, members share information about new best practices and techniques so we all benefit.
If you run a successful commercial paving company that operates with high integrity and would like to be a part of this exceptional organization, please inquire to see if we have availability in the region you service. Download the application and submit via email to admin@pavementnetwork.com.
Membership in the PN has been an enlightening experience. I've learned a lot of 'tricks of the trade' and have made lifetime friends. It's great to have round table discussions with people who have knowledge and experience in exactly the same industry. It's amazing how much we all have in common even though we are from different parts of the country. I use the resources available through the network all the time. I'd have to say joining the PN was one of the smartest things I've done for my business.
I find the ability to openly discuss highly confidential strategies, customer lists, and best practices, with senior management of like industry leaders to be invaluable. As a result, we have forged lasting friendships, and implemented programs that have helped us become more efficient and profitable, which quite frankly would not have happened without the Network. Our membership in the Network affords us the equivalent of a multi-talented Board of Directors for free!
In my first meeting I discovered a tax credit for hiring workers who had been unemployed for a particular length of time—and it qualified us for a credit of about $40,000. It was kind of like finding money in a ditch. I was sold. I had paid for over a decade's dues in just one meeting. Since then trade secrets, best practices, advice and friendships I have gained from being in the network are immeasurable. There's an enormous amount of wisdom and knowledge in this group.
The Pavement Network has been an integral component of our company's growth and success. Initially, the wealth of information, experience and expertise allowed us to develop many new divisions including a full-service concrete division and an infrared patching division. The best practices shared freely allowed us to launch these divisions with the experience and training that only years of experience could have offered. The individual owners of the member companies act as a highly skilled Board of Directors that offer a perspective and expertise that no individual company could ever assemble or frankly afford.
We have found that being a part of the Pavement Network and the relationships it has produced is invaluable to our organization. There is no other organization that gives us the opportunity to fellowship with peer companies in our industry and allows us to openly share our best practices, successes, challenges, and failures in a safe and non-competitive environment. As an organization, we know that we don’t have everything figured out and we value the perspectives and wisdom of this diverse and tested group.
