10 Tips To Creating a Winter-Proof Snow Removal Budget
Planning your snow removal budget for the winter can be tricky.
You want to make sure your contract covers all your winter needs. But what are your winter needs? And the big question: how much to budget for snow removal?
The goal: to protect everyone who spends time on your commercial property and minimize your organization’s chance of being exposed to snow and ice-related hazards such as slips, falls, traffic accidents, and property damage.
How to create a winter-proof snow removal budget? Opt for a seasonal contract. Or choose a time and materials contract with a readiness fee. Save money by limiting access. Understand that waiting until after a storm to hire snow removal won’t save you money.
