Good Morning,
Many of you might remember the NAPL Blue Books that were very popular for so many years. Here at the association, we still have members and non-members who will contact us asking if we still have the Blue Books and how can they get them! The answer is, as of today we no longer update the Blue Books and have not updated them since 2009.
For many years the Blue Books were the key ingredient in calculating a company's Budgeted Hourly Rates. We published four volumes which were updated every two years and new members received a complete set when they joined and active members received the updates as part of their membership. We also developed the CS-Interact version, which were distributed via CD-Rom.
What we would like to know is this.
- Do you feel the Blue Books and the information they contained are still valuable today?
- Would you find it valuable if you had this information today?
- Would it be valuable if the association provided an on-line tool that enabled you to do budgeted hourly rates using the Blue Book information?
- Are you currently calculating your Budgeted Hourly rates and if so how?
We are also providing a webinar on February 23, 2017 entitled
Budgeted Hourly Rates 101 - Do You Really Know Your Costs? Presented by Steve Anzalone. If you are interested in learning more, click the link above to register.
Thank you for your feedback!
