THE "COST VS. SAVINGS" SERIES 4: THE SCENARIOS (PART 1)

 

THE 

"COST 

VS. 

SAVINGS"

SERIES 4: 

THE 

SCENARIOS 

PT. 1

Hi Peeps, 

Trust this post meets you well. and I guess you are having a great time as summer reaches its peak.

I would like to have your attention for a moment just before the next nature hike, sprinkler fight and other summer adventure you have lined up for the weekend.

Still on The "Cost vs. Savings" Series, an eye-opener conversation on the impact of cost and savings on your projects. So far, I have defined terms and shared practical tools with techniques you will find useful for your project decisions moving forward.

If you have not been following, do well to check them out here 👇

Now it's time for case study as I share real life scenarios. In this post I will highlight cases presented by professionals independent of Team Consult Kenny, just so you have an idea of what's applicable elsewhere.

Please come with me 👇


#1: 

ONCE 

AND

 FOR ALL

The subject of cost and savings will always come up throughout the lifecycle of a project. 

Using a construction project as a case study, there are matters that may appear at obvious points like finishing phase (painting, tiling, fittings etc), while others occur at points that are hidden in places like the foundation, columns and other structural members.

In the attached video by @Ehmecointegratedservices, there is a case of a bad decision on a structural matter👇

The project sponsor in this case opted for an upfront 'savings' that ended up as a costly mistake, rather than an upfront investment that would have resulted in long-term savings.

Kindly check it out and let me have your feedback.


#2: 

BE 

THE 

JUDGE

While some decisions are best made once and for all, others leave you with options to choose from, with no dire consequences to face regardless of your decision.

Here @sirfolajomi makes a cost comparison between the initial and subsequent cost implication for a generator vs. solar power options 👇

There is no right or wrong decision in this case, however it's important to ask yourself if you would prefer to pay now and save later or vice versa.

The choice is simply yours to make, be the judge.


#3: 

YOU ARE 

NEXT

 

Common!, I thought this is supposed to be a dialogue, so I have to hear from you and not bombard you with case study.

Therefore, I would like to hear from you. Please share real life scenarios on matters relating to cost and savings that you have had to face. Perhaps your case study will make it to my next post.

But just before then, let's recite the personal statement that summarizes this entire series in just 3 lines👇

❌ If it would cost me money, time and effort but rescue me from nothing, I DROP IT

🤔 If it would cost me money, time and effort and rescue me from something , I CONSIDER IT 

✅ If it would NOT cost me money, time and effort yet rescue me from something, I JUMP AT IT

You sure have enough time to memorize this before my next post where I will be presenting case study that are peculiar to my audience. While you are at it, please feel free to use the link below to keep in touch👇

THE  "SECOND  CHANCE"  SERIES 2: BEAUTIFUL EXCHANGE!!! Hello and Happy Easter Peeps, It's that time of the year when we remember and celebrate Divinity taking a second chance on humanity. Coincidentally, the essence of Easter celebration is in complete sync with The "Second Chance" series, where I seek to help my audience take a second chance on some crucial elements within their spaces. My last post aimed at helping you resolve dysfunctional layout, and I'm quite confident you have gained some insights on different shapes of spaces and how to best utilize them. Now let's have a look at what I love to call the "beautiful exchange", a concept of how you can reuse worn out or 'out of fashion' items in your space, making them more appealing, and having a positive impact on your space. I should mention as I proceed that there are several ideas to achieving beautiful exchanges, however I would categorize them into 3 aspects namely 👇 #1: FAC...
