costing workshop
Let's talk real numbers
Rising costs. Tight margins. Rates that aren’t keeping up. Sound familiar?
FICA is kicking off a new workshop series to help contractors and forest managers get on the same page when it comes to business costs. We’re starting in Gisborne with a pilot session that 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.
