Informe Daily Rate Costing Reports
Buy and Sell Description:
Much has been made of rising fuel prices, labour shortages and inflation driving up daily costs but are you aware just how much the cost of running your forestry crew has increased over the last 12 months?
Forme Consulting have been producing the INFORME daily rate and cost escalation reports for over 30 years. Our aim has always been to provide independent and reliable costing information to the forest industry.
The reports are considered by many to be the benchmark for harvesting, silviculture and forest engineering cost information currently available in New Zealand. The reports provide a comprehensive range of estimated daily rates for machines, equipment, chainsaws, vehicles, labour, and overheads which allows daily rate crew costs to be estimated. This insight is invaluable to contractors in whatever area of forestry, who may be preparing for contract price negotiations with their forest company.
Our INFORME reports are typically used to:
monitor escalation of equipment costs & rates and silviculture manday rates
calculate indicative crew day costs
provide “Peace of Mind” to back up and validate own costings
prepare for price negotiations knowing that many forestry companies also use the INFORME reports.
INFORME Harvesting 2023 reports are printed and ready for delivery now.
Our other Informe reports, INFORME Forestry 2023 (for silviculture contractors) and INFORME Engineering 2023 (for roading contractors) are also available for purchase - just visit our website below to complete and submit the order form or visit our website for more information.
