What Does Efficient Mean?

The word efficient is used quite often. The definition from Dictionary.com is "performing or functioning in the best possible manner with the least waste of time and effort." Efficient is an adjective which means it is a descriptive word. For a contractor, efficient means getting a job done quickly and with little waste. A contractor who is describing an efficient job site would say his workers and subcontractors are able to quickly complete their tasks in an orderly fashion without being in one another's way, and that the dumpster is not overflowing.

A home builder can have an efficient job site. This is possible through careful and proper planning and by using insulated concrete forms (ICFs). An ICF concrete home is efficient to build because the foam forms lock into place fast. It really is as easy as putting Lego blocks together. The efficiency continues because the forms are marked in a way that makes installing electrical and plumbing easy. Finally, the design of the foam forms helps drywallers speedily move through the home as that hang sheetrock.

As stated earlier, part of being efficient for a contractor is generating less waste. The plumber, electrician, and drywaller actually might generate the most waste. Building ICF concrete walls generates little to no waste. The forms are delivered to the job site in the correct size. The builders do not have to cut two-by-fours to build a wall to the correct size. The forms are simply put into place without creating any waste and then wet cement is poured into the middle of the wall.

The ICF distributor that a contractor uses is important to the efficiency of the job site. The forms need to be delivered to the site on time and in a way that uses the least amount of fuel as possible. This means the site can actually be efficient before necessary materials even arrive there.
