costing workshop
Let's talk real numbers
Rising costs. Tight margins. Rates that aren’t keeping up. Sound familiar?
Following a successful pilot workshop in Gisborne, FICA is offering this Workshop to help contractors and forest managers get on the same page when it comes to business costs. The session dives into the real stuff—depreciation, machine utilisation, and how equity is being squeezed.
This isn’t a lecture. It’s a practical, straight-up conversation with people who know the game - Forme Consulting and Blackburne Group. We’ll walk through a new costing app, share examples, and get everyone talking the same language.
What’s the goal?
To build a shared understanding of base costs in a forestry business—so we can all make better decisions and stop chasing our tails.
