The Dirt on DirtLogic - November E-newsletter

A HOLIDAY NOTE FROM OUR CEO, MATTHEW GEBAROWSKI.

"Once when my wife, Aimee, and I were dinner guests in the home of friends we observed an interesting dinner time tradition. Before eating we went around the table and everyone had to say at least one thing they were grateful for. It was so touching to hear everyone counting their blessings that, being the tough guy that I am, I started to cryÖ just kiddingÖwell, maybe my eyes did get a little misty but, it could have just been the salad onions.

Anyway, the point is that it reminded me that it's important to take a moment to give thanks. So on that note and in the spirit of the Thanksgiving holiday I've decided to collect some sentiments from me and the DirtLogic team on what we really appreciate about all of you. Grab your hankies folks and remember it takes a strong man to cry and an even stronger man to laugh at him."

Matt Gebarowski:
"I like that there's no B.S.; you know what everyone is thinking."

Aimee Gebarowski:
"I really admire and appreciate the strong work ethic I've seen among our clients. It really is an honor to work with people who are real contributors in our industry and community."

Brian Owens:
"We partner with forward thinking, big picture kind of people. Together we often work on the cutting edge of excavation technology, and we are going to change the traditional ways of looking at site development. Thanks for making my job exciting!"

Argel Jimenez:
"Our clients make things happen! They play a key role in the development of our community and it's an honor for us to help them accomplish that day in and day out."

Mike Navarre:
"I am thankful for the great relationships we have with our clients and their laid back nature. It makes working with them a joy."

Andrew Iverson:
"Considering this industry can be fast paced and last minute, our clients are always willing to stop and answer any questions we throw at them. There's a real sense of teamwork and that's what we're striving for!"

Alberto Jimenez:
"I like how many of our clients are very personal. When I talk with them, even though I may not know them very well, they talk to me as if I were a fellow employee."

An exciting innovation that adds value to your DirtLogic GPS model without adding a cent to your invoice.

DirtLogic recently developed a process for creating GPS models which highlights potential conflicts in project design versus drainage. Our reports now include recommendations in a format that gives you the option of addressing concerns before excavation begins. The unbiased nature of DirtLogic's information allows you to impartially communicate the issues to the engineer to achieve a resolution together instead of surprising your client with a change order in the end or eating the expense yourself.

How would you like to have a personal assistant that was scouring Builders' Exchange, Daily Journal of Commerce, and the Oregon Contractor plan centers to find the best possible projects for you to bid on?

DirtLogic is implementing a process that matches your profile with the jobs that best fit you. Think of it as a dating service with your ideal project as the object of your affection. All you have to do is fill out your preferences on the types of jobs you like to bid on (see the links below) and we'll start matchmaking. DirtLogic then gives you the option of purchasing the take-offs for your desired jobs.

Also, congratulations to Mike Whitbey of Dow Brothers, winner of a $75 gift certificate to Ruth Chris Steakhouse. We hope you enjoy your tender, juicy T-bone, full glass of red wine and a piece of Ruth Chris' signature banana cream pie compliments of DirtLogic! Mike was entered into this drawing for responding to DirtLogic's initial invitation to registered DirtStore members to customize their DirtStore profile. See folks, membership has its privileges, so register today.

PLEASE NOTE: our plan center department is completely separate from our custom take-offs department. If you contact us for a custom take-off job, please be assured we will not resell it in our plan center department. We will not solicit your take-offs.

As winter settles in and construction slows down now is the perfect time for you and your team to beef up your skills. DirtLogic can help you get the most out of your GPS grading investment by teaching you important techniques of integrating the GPS model data with the hardware.

Be sure to schedule your session before the busy spring season starts again.

Not only are we always looking for ways to do our job better, but DirtLogic is always looking for an excuse to have some fun.

Here's a little hint of what craziness we're cooking up next:

Watch out for December's E-newsletter for our second annual "Christmas card video" - you may just find yourself as a featured "Star."

In January help us celebrate Superbowl Sunday with a DirtLogic client-wide betting pool (free of course) complete with cool prizes! Go Bears! (That's right, I said "Bears" as in "Chicago" and what are you going to do about it? - Yours truly, Aimee G.)
