THREE WAYS T3 CAN 

SAVE YOU TIME & MONEY 

T3, the Operating System for 

Construction, is EquipmentShare’s 

cloud-connected technology platform 

with apps to help your company 

monitor, track and manage its 

everyday operations. 

T3 can be installed on all of your 

company-owned equipment — 

regardless of manufacturer — and 

every EquipmentShare rental comes 

with T3 for the duration of the rental. 

With the ability to monitor 100% of 

your fleet and provide actionable 

insights, T3 can save you time 

and money. 

Reduce Your Rental Spend 

At EquipmentShare, we’re always 

looking for ways to help you get the 

most from your rental budget — even 

if it means spending less with us. 

T3 Fleet lets you review fleet 

utilization right from your dashboard, 

so you’ll know which machines are 

making you money and which are 

just parked. Then, easily off-rent with 

the Rent app and right-size your fleet. 

Reduce Service Times & Overhead 

With T3’s data reporting and analysis 

functions, you can pinpoint ways to 

optimize your fleet usage and avoid 

costly breakdowns. 

Use T3 to identify long equipment 

idle times to reduce fuel waste. 

Review diagnostic trouble codes 

and schedule regular maintenance 

before small problems become long 

downtimes. And if a machine does 

break down, our field technicians can 

access a machine’s complete service 

history to help pinpoint the problem 

before they arrive. 

Reduce Theft 

Equipment theft robs you of more 

than just a machine — it idles your 

workforce and slows your project 

down. T3’s GPS and geofencing 

capabilities can help keep an eye on 

your equipment 24/7. 

Simply set up an alert associated 

with your jobsite geofence, and T3 

can text you if equipment from your 

jobsite is started outside working 

hours. Then, use T3 Fleet to track 

your machine’s location and status, 

and easily share vital information 

with law enforcement. Best of all, 

the EquipmentShare team is there to 

help you recover your assets every 

step of the way. 

T3 has helped contractors recover 

equipment — from tool trailers to 

skid steers — and send thieves to jail 

across the country. 

The Bottom Line 

T3 lets you replace multiple systems, 

spreadsheets and ledgers that track 

equipment rentals, usage and service 

with one centralized solution — 

saving you time and money. 

Get started with a tech-powered 

rental from EquipmentShare.com or 

visit T3.tech to find out how to turn 

your own machines into a techpowered 

fleet.

Small Business Education 

SBA’s Mission 

The Small Business Administration’s (SBA’s) mission is to help small 

businesses start, grow, expand, and recover. 

SBA achieves this mission through four major areas of focus. 

• Education: SBA’s entrepreneurial development programs provide 

counseling and training to entrepreneurs. 

• Access to capital: SBA guaranties support loans to small business 

that may have challenges obtaining credit, and SBA direct loans 

support recovery in the aftermath of disasters. 

• Contracting: SBA is charged with helping federal government meet 

goals of contracting to small businesses. 

• Advocacy: the SBA weighs in on and testifies on behalf of US 

businesses regarding regulation impacts and conduct economic 

research and regional outreach. 

Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) 

In November 2021, Congress passed the BIL, which the White House 

described as “a once-in-a-generation investment in our nation’s 

infrastructure and competitiveness.” The BIL will: 

• Deliver clean water to all American families and eliminate the 

nation’s lead service line; 

• Ensure every American has access to reliable high-speed internet; 

• Repair and rebuild our roads and bridges with a focus on climate 

change mitigation, resilience, equity, and safety for all users; 

• Improve transportation options for millions of Americans and 

reduce greenhouse emissions through the largest investment in 

public transit in U.S. history; 

• Upgrade our nation’s airports and ports to strengthen our supply 

chains and prevent disruptions that have caused inflation; 

• Make the largest investment in passenger rail since the creation of 

Amtrak; 

• Build a national network of electric vehicle (EV) chargers; 

• Upgrade our power infrastructure to deliver clean, reliable energy 

across the country and deploy cutting-edge energy technology to 

achieve a zero-emissions future; 

• Make our infrastructure resilient against the impacts of climate 

change, cyber-attacks, and extreme weather events; and 

• Deliver the largest investment in tackling legacy pollution in 

American history by cleaning up Superfund and brownfield sites, 

reclaiming abandoned mines, and capping orphaned oil and gas 

wells. 

After amendments, the BIL included about $1.2 trillion in spending, of 

which $550 billion was newly authorized over and above what Congress 

intended to spend regularly. With these new authorizations, small 

businesses are encouraged to bolster their capacity, and the SBA has 

tools and resources to enable that increased capacity. 


Small business owners can start their educational journey on SBA.gov. 

This site includes critical information for the SBA’s small business 

programs and activities, but also valuable tools, like the learning 

platform. Use this tool to gain access to videos, templates for financials 

and business planning, and helpful guidance for each phase of business- 

whether that is starting out or scaling up. 

For a more personal interaction, reach out for guidance from an SBA local 

partner described below. 

SBA resource partners 

SBA resource partners are available to provide free one-on-one business 

counseling and free or low-cost courses and 

training. Partners can assist small business owners 

with access to capital, networking events and 

opportunities; to navigate government contracting; 

and to provide a source of mentorship. 

• SCORE – nine chapters in the state 

• Small Business and Technology Development Centers – 14 across 

the state 

• Women’s Business Centers – six in NC 

• Veterans Business Outreach Center – based in Fayetteville. 

Through every phase of the 

business lifecycle, the SBA is 

your small business ally. 

Small Business Financing 

Access to capital can make a major difference in the success and growth 

of a small business. SBA supports the delivery of capital to small for-profit 

companies in three ways: through loan programs, through export grants, 

and for very fast-growing companies in equity investment. 

Loan Programs 

SBA 7a Loans work with lenders by providing a U.S. government guaranty 

on small business loans. These 7(a) loans can provide funds for a variety 

of business needs. SBA loans are flexible in their use and cover a variety of 

purposes including purchasing inventory, working capital, payroll 

expenses, and fixed-asset purchases. They have a maximum loan amount 

of $5 million with maturities of 10-25 years. 

SBA Microloans are administered through non-profit organizations and 

non-profit Community Development Financial Institutions, or CDFIs.

These lending institutions are locally focused and primarily oriented to 

financial inclusion and the economic development of low-income 

communities. Typical microloan funding is in the $500 to $50,000 range. 

504 loans are for major fixed assets with a useful life of at least 10 years. 

These are long term fixed-rate mortgage loans for purchasing land or 

existing buildings, construction of new buildings, energy efficient 

upgrades, and items such as heavy equipment. The maximum loan 

amount is $5 million (or $5.5 million for manufacturers) with a maturity up 

to 25 years. 

SBA Disaster Loans 

SBA Disaster Loans are made available in the event of natural disasters. 

Loans for the recovery from physical damage are available. In addition, 

Economic Injury Disaster Loans can help businesses that experienced 

damage, closure, and revenue decrease due to natural disasters like fires, 

WE MAKE SMALL BUSINESS OUR 

BUSINESS. 

flooding, and pandemics. Rates and terms for both types of disaster 

loans are highly favorable. 

SBA funding through grant and award 

programs 

The State Trade Expansion Program or (STEP) helps small businesses 

overcome obstacles to exporting by providing grants to cover costs 

associated with entering and expanding into international markets. North 

Carolinas STEP grants are awarded through the Economic Development 

Partnership of North Carolina (EDPNC). 

The government has dedicated four billion dollars to Small Business 

Innovative Research (SBIR) Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) 

grant funding. There are 11 federal agencies that participate in these two 

grant programs by allocating at least 3.2% of their annual budget to fund 

small businesses through research and development of federal projects 

involving technological and innovation needs. For-profit businesses with 

under 500 employees can receive funding in three different phases 

including Research, development, and commercialization of their 

projects. 

Expanding opportunities through government contracting 

Government Contracting can be highly lucrative for many small businesses. The United States government is the largest purchaser of 

goods and services in the world spending over $600 billion each year. Some small business owners may shy away from government 

contracting because they are unaware that the government may have a need for the product or service they are offering, but there 

are endless possibilities that stretch from pens and office supplies, food services, project management, construction, to tanks and 

weapon systems, and everything in between. 

The SBA ensures that at least 23 percent of all government contracts are provided to small businesses. The agency assists with certifications that allow small 

businesses whose ownership is held by under-represented groups to become more competitive. SBA also oversees a highly effective mentorship program, 

Mentor Protégé Program (MPP), that allows small businesses to work with experienced government contractors to help propel them into success. 

Certifications can be granted to companies with at least 51 percent ownership from the following groups: WOSB or women-owned small businesses, 8(a) or 

economically and socially disadvantaged individuals, HUBzone or Historically Underutilized Business Zones, and SDVOSB or Service-Disabled Veteran Owned 

Small Businesses. These certifications allow for small businesses to compete for government contracts by setting goals that ensure a specific percentage of 

federal contract dollars are going to these underrepresented groups. Some contracts are even reserved, or set-aside, for certified businesses. 

Surety Bond Guaranty Program 

SBA Surety bonds allow for small businesses to compete for larger contracts generating, growth, new jobs, and contributions to our nation’s economy. 

Bonding is required for certain government contracts and for many private contracts. Just as the SBA can guaranty a business loan under 7(a), SBA can also 

guaranty bonding arrangements to enable small firms to acquire bonding on contracts. SBA surety bonds increase Bond Capacity- In many instances the SBA 

can almost double bond capacity. By increasing bonding capacity small businesses can compete for larger contracts, quickly propelling them forward. 

Summary 

The SBA provides resources and guidance to small businesses to help them start, grow, expand, and recover. The agency does this through the various 

educational resources; enabling access to the capital: grants and awards; certifications to enable government contracting; and contract bonding. 

For further questions about the SBA or any of its programs, please contact the SBA North Carolina District Office by phone 704-344-6563 or email nc@sba.gov

PROJECT MANAGEMENT 

Building A Homebuilding and Remodeling Company That 

Attracts The RIGHT People Like a Division 1 College Football Powerhouse 

Wednesday, December 6 | 11:15 a.m.-12:15p.m. | Keynote Area 

As a Division 1 Football player in the powerful Southeastern Conference (SEC) Scott has seen first hand the behind-thescenes 

system that is being constantly updated and refined to ensure that athletically talented 16 and 17 adolescents 

choose the right team. 

Remodeler and home builder owners are in a season of work where they have a choice: see the next generation as a 

hindrance with excuses like “they won’t work”, or to see this new generation as an opportunity to pivot with a renewed mindset like “I’m excited 

to see how they own the mission!” 

There is a shortage of workers for the old-school methodologies but there is not a shortage of people willing to work…towards the right mission. 

This life-changing and engaging keynote pulls from our work with hundreds of owners and gets you on the path to building a powerhouse team. 

You will be equipped to beat chaos with predictability, and to build a business that brings stability, life, and time for what matters most. 

Target Audience: Architects, General Contractors, Subcontractors, Builders, and Remodelers 


Recruiting and Hiring: The 4 Systems Every Homebuilder and 

Remodeler Owner Needs to Build the Right People That Builds the Right Business 

Thursday, December 7 | 11:15 a.m.-12:15p.m. | Keynote Area 

People, people, people! How do we find the right people to hire? How do we find ANY people to hire? 

The Boomers retired early, and the emerging generations are much more selective in the work they choose. How can you find the right people, 

recruit them the right way, share the right vision, and then onboard them the right way that aligns with the right mission? 

Reimagine the business of your contracting firm with this engaging keynote talk drawing from our work with hundreds of contractor owners that 

led to our proprietary and proven roadmap. This roadmap will equip you to beat chaos with predictability, and to build the team that will build 

the business to make time for what matters most.

“Can’t We All Just Get Along?” A New Approach to 

Construction Disputes 


Chris Osborn, Esq. 

Mediator, Speaker, Conflict Resolution Expert 

Conflicts frequently arise during construction projects. Even the best designs, contracts, and processes can’t anticipate 

every potential obstacle on the road to completion. When not handled proactively and shrewdly, such disputes consume 

huge amounts of time and stress. And if we aren’t careful, they can easily erupt into costly litigation. 

So, what determines whether a conflict is worked through and resolved amicably, or spirals out of control into an 

exhausting, expensive, time-consuming process that usually leaves all parties equally unsatisfied? 

Drawing on his over two decades of experience in litigating and mediating construction disputes, Chris Osborn’s lively, 

interactive presentations equip construction professionals to: 

• Recognize and deploy 5 different STYLES of conflict resolution 

• Minimize the impact of STRESS in difficult conversations 

• Understand the importance of STORY (both yours and the other person’s) when having difficult conversations 

• Embody a more powerful form of STRENGTH when navigating through conflict

Empowering Progress: The Impact of 

Black Women in Charlotte’s Construction 

Renaissance 

The construction industry in Charlotte, with its expansive 

growth and commitment to sustainability and innovation, 

presents a wealth of opportunities for Black women to 

make a significant impact. Here’s how Black women in 

construction can contribute to workforce development and 

forward-looking strategies: 

EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH AND MENTORSHIP: 

Black women in construction can help shape the future of 

the workforce through educational outreach. By mentoring 

young women and girls, especially those from minority 

communities, they can inspire the next generation to pursue 

careers in construction, engineering, and architecture. 

DIVERSIFYING THE WORKFORCE: 

Black women can play a crucial role in diversifying the 

construction industry, which has traditionally been maledominated. 

By entering the field in greater numbers, they 

can bring new perspectives and solutions to the table, 

enriching the creative and problem-solving processes within 

the sector. 

LEADERSHIP IN SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES: 

With the industry’s shift towards sustainability, Black 

women can lead the way in green building practices. Their 

expertise can help to steer projects towards more ecofriendly 

materials and processes, thus contributing to 

Charlotte’s vision of environmental stewardship. 

ADVOCACY FOR INCLUSIVE POLICIES: 

By taking active roles in policymaking and advocacy, Black 

women can influence the development of inclusive policies 

that ensure equal opportunities for all individuals in the 

construction industry. This can lead to a more equitable 

work environment that values diversity and inclusion. 

PROMOTING WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT 

PROGRAMS: 

Involvement in or creation of training and certification 

programs can enable Black women to help others gain 

the necessary skills for the construction industry. These 

programs can also be tailored to address specific skills gaps 

and the evolving technological needs of the sector. 


NETWORKING AND COLLABORATION: 

Organizations like the National Association of Black Women 

in Construction (NABWIC) can be instrumental in fostering 

networking opportunities, sharing best practices, and 

collaborating on large-scale projects. This unity can amplify 

the impact Black women have on the industry’s direction 

and prosperity. 

By harnessing these avenues, Black women can not only 

enrich the workforce with their skills and leadership but also 

ensure that the booming construction industry in Charlotte 

continues to thrive with a commitment to diversity, 

innovation, and community upliftment. 

INNOVATION IN CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGY: 

As Charlotte embraces smart technologies in construction, 

Black women can contribute to innovation by being at the 

forefront of technological advancements, from 3D printing 

in building processes to the use of AI and machine learning 

for project management. 

CHAMPIONING AFFORDABLE HOUSING: 

Black women can leverage their unique perspectives 

to advocate for and participate in the development of 

affordable housing projects. This can help address one of 

the major challenges in Charlotte’s urban development, 

ensuring that growth benefits a broader spectrum of the 

population. 

ENHANCING PROJECT MANAGEMENT: 

Black women with skills in project management can lead 

complex projects, ensuring that they are completed on time 

and within budget, while also meeting the high standards 

required by the modern construction industry. 

ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT THROUGH 

ENTREPRENEURSHIP: 

By founding and leading their own construction firms, 

Black women can drive economic growth and create jobs. 

Their success can serve as an inspiration and a catalyst for 

more minority women to embrace entrepreneurship in the 

construction industry. 

ADDITIONAL WAYS NABWIC CAN BENEFIT BLACK 

WOMEN IN CONSTRUCTION: 

The National Association of Black Women in Construction 

(NABWIC), provides advocacy and support in the above 

areas by: 

1. Promoting Education and Training: Increasing access to 

educational programs and vocational training opportunities 

is vital for empowering black women in construction. 

Scholarships, apprenticeship programs, and mentorship 

initiatives can help provide necessary skills and support. 

2. Mentorship and Networking Programs: Establishing 

mentorship programs that connect black women with 

experienced professionals in the industry can provide 

guidance, advice, and a strong support system. Networking 

events and forums tailored to their needs can also create 

valuable connections. 

3. Advocating for Equal Opportunities: Construction 

companies and industry leaders need to actively advocate 

for equal opportunities, eliminating gender and racial 

biases in hiring, promotion, and compensation practices. 

Implementing inclusive policies and fostering a culture of 

diversity will help break down barriers. 

4. Enhancing Visibility and Representation: Highlighting 

the achievements and successes of black women in 

construction through media coverage, conferences, 

and industry events is essential. Increasing visibility and 

representation can inspire future generations and challenge 

existing stereotypes. 

NABWIC’s newest project is to be a historian for the 

achievements of Black Women in Construction. By 

implementing these solutions, Charlotte can pave the way 

for a more inclusive and equitable construction industry, 

where black women thrive and contribute their unique 

talents and perspectives.
