Driver Instruct Partnership

Business As the owner of your own business, you’ll be in charge of the hours you work, giving you flexibility to work around family, social, or other career requirements as needed (ideal if you’re taking c-ADI training, for example). You can vary your driving instructor salary easily by taking on more clients or toning down your schedule as necessary. However, remember that it can take some time for a new ADI to build up a reputation, and you may not have the opportunity to work quite as many hours as you’d like during the first few months of owning the business. Franchise/Partnership The good things about franchises is that you’ll still have some degree of control over how much you work, although many companies will require you to commit to working a minimum number of hours per week if they have a large client database. You may also be tied into a contract that can dictate the number of hours you work. Many contracts are set at 6 or 12 months, with some simply being ‘rollover’ contracts that continue until you provide notice of cancellation. Overheads Business If you’re going down the ‘own business’ route, you’ll be wholly responsible for any business overheads, which for driving instructors can be quite significant. You’ll be required to supply your own vehicle, pay fuel costs and insurance, and ensure the vehicle is safe, well maintained, and is serviced annually. As a new business owner, you may be required to be in business for a number of years before your profits are significantly higher than your business outgoings. Becoming a driving instructor isn’t always easy, but rest assured it’s worth it in the end!

One of the major risks in the performance of your construction contracts is the risk of being late. Failure to correctly assess how long the job will take, not only means your Preliminary and General costs may be far in excess of what can be claimed; it also exposes your company to the substantial risk of Liquidated Damages. The risk lies solely with you, the Contractor, since it is you, by way of your Tender Programme, that advises the client how long the project will take to build. This in turn becomes the yardstick by which your performance is measured. Failure to programme the works correctly, means that the contract period is often no more than an optimistic guess. You would never guess at how much a job is going to cost, why would you guess at how long it’s going to take, or how many people are required to build it? Especially when there could be major damages at stake for late delivery. We can help. We can create a fully optimised, comprehensively scheduled programme that ensures all works are fully planned and resourced to maximise efficiency and reduce your risk of failure to hit key contract dates. Contracts as a matter of course also encounter unexpected events and changes in scope. These often impact the original planned execution of the project and create changes to the build timing and methodology. A correctly designed and executed programme greatly enhances your management team’s effectiveness and efficiency in controlling the project and such events. The programme provides them with the dynamic tools they need to immediately map out and illustrate the effects of any changes and ensures that they can make educated and informed critical decisions. It also provides the essential proof of impact, required to support successful claims for extensions of time.
