Does booking hours to the Excess travel code for time spent flying to the client hurt your utilization?

No it doesn’t hurt utilization but it does not improve it. It does increase your OT hours which is an important metric. It is only meant for travel outside normal business hours. Any travel to or between clients during business hours should be charged to the appropriate clients.

like

Standard utilization (ignoring firm holidays) is calculated off external hours within a 40hr workweek.

As long as you’re hitting 40h of client time in a standard week, excess travel hours would be picked up as “hours over standard” (overtime hours worked) but wouldn’t lower your utilization .

If you’re traveling during core business hours, I’d charge the time to the client to make sure you’re keeping up utilization.

like

Any code that starts with an 8 is a non-client code that hurts your utilization. Believe travel time falls into this category

As realtors, our worst and best friend are the contractors, being friends with the contractor that remodelled a home you are going to sell is a plus because you can know for sure what kind of improvements were made to the house and why; and what kind of things are pending to be improved, that way you can provide real information to the client. You know what they say: a happy client always comes back to you.

It seems there's 1000 books on how to make the work, but almost nothing on how to make the system that makes the work... esp for in-house (a fair amount of 'start your own agency' resources out there).
