It is not only difficult to find tradies but also to finance projects, as material shortage and price increases have hit hard within all aspects of the built environment.

More and more projects are running over time and over budget and more and more builders added clauses to building contracts to allow for variations for budget and project delivery time.

Why is Minc Services in a position to guarantee pricing and project delivery time?

Minc Services in Sydney has recently started works at a large three-storey building complex in Westmead. Projects at Body Corporate multi storey building sites can take up to a year in planning starting from conception, to obtaining quotes and BC meetings to choose a contractor. Many of these projects require more than one trade and these need to be available at staged intervals.

Minc Services project tender prices were kept unchanged for a year!

Not only due to the long-term relations with many customers, including the PICA Group, but also with our long-term relationship with all our suppliers and trades required for the project. All our contractors are licensed and cm3 certified.

This project includes expertise in all trades including building, scaffolding, water proofing, tiling and painting.

With a big project like this project planning is essential!

Minc Services has the expertise and project planning tools to guarantee project delivery within time and budget.

For peace of mind, fair pricing, and knowledge that the project will run smoothly, Minc Services is the right choice!

“The Government is introducing a Technology Investment Boost to support digital adoption by small businesses, providing 120 per cent tax deductions for adoption of new digital services. Although welcome, it is not directly focussed on new R&D outcomes.”

On 29 March 2022, as part of the 2022–23 Budget, the then Government announced it will support small business through the following new measures. These measures are not yet law and are subject to decisions from the new Government.

Small Business Technology Investment Boost

Small businesses (with aggregated annual turnover of less than $50 million) will be able to deduct an additional 20 per cent of the cost incurred on business expenses and depreciating assets that support their digital adoption, such as portable payment devices, cyber security systems or subscriptions to cloud based services, within certain conditions whereby caps apply.

When the technology investment boost applies

This measure will apply to expenditure incurred in the period commencing from 7:30 pm AEDT 29 March 2022 until 30 June 2023.

How to claim the technology investment boost

For eligible expenditure incurred between 7:30 pm AEDT 29 March 2022 until 30 June 2022:

• claim the expenditure as usual in your 2021–22 tax return, and
• claim the additional 20% bonus deduction for this period in your 2022–23 tax return.

For eligible expenditure incurred from 1 July 2022 until 30 June 2023:

• you can deduct the entire 120% in your 2022–23 tax return.

Traditionally, maintaining a property has been the responsibility of owners or managers, who may have differing opinions on various practises. There are areas, also, which may not be taken into consideration as they are not always obvious.

By engaging Minc, building owners and managers have the peace of mind that their building will be professionally serviced, current building maintenance practises are adhered to, servicesare performed to the latest OHSE regulations and Minc also ensures that the latest environmentally friendly products are in use!

The objective of good maintenance practise is to know what level of pro-active maintenance is appropriate for a given situation. A major concern on some sites is for managers and staff attempting to undertake maintenance in safety critical areas where they do not have sufficient licensed training.

Safety critical areas such as electrical, building and plumbing should only be serviced by trained individuals. Building owners and managers have a duty of care with regard to maintenance and safety to ensure this is the case.

Minc can assist in providing expertise to identify potential hazards and risk factors, enabling
building owners and managers to prioritise maintenance timetables.
This has the valuable flow on effect of not only minimising unanticipated major repairs, but also
reducing public liability insurance claims and premiums.

Having all the required trade skills, licences, insurances and systems in place to ensure accountability, Minc provides these services from a single point of contact, while maintaining historical records for future forecasting.

Minc Services offer professional workmanship, carrying out maintenance investigations and
property services with:

• Availability 24 hours, 7 days a week
• A focus on OHSE
• Well presented and professional appearances

The date of the trade show had changed several times due to COVID lockdowns and restrictions on visitors’ attendance, everyone was relieved that it finally got the go ahead!
Although attendance numbers were still restricted, it was a roaring success.

Minc Services was lucky to be in a great spot and were thoroughly prepared with a Minc Services banner, lucky business card draw prizes, brochures and marketing materials in a handy Minc tote bag.

The team brought in a real sample of concrete cancer to illustrate what this looks like. They had also printed and laminated before and after photos of their projects.

The Branch MD Dennis Randall (BSC Building Engineering), Site Supervisor Martin Bauer (Carpenter/Builder) and Marketing Manager, Jill Randall (BA) were in attendance to answer any questions.

They were immediately asked to quote on numerous buildings and appointments were made on the night. They have since then followed up with all enquiries and started quoting for new projects.
