Mark Lesnick Consulting (MLC) is a manufacturing consulting firm specializing in decorative concrete manufacturing, an art recently brought to the forefront of exclusive design. MLC does not provide products to the industry - just the expertise on how to move from each project's beginning to end, with the shortest learning curve possible. Proprietor Mark Lesnick is a no-nonsense businessman who rolls up his sleeves and jumps into a client's project to produce both quality and art. There are no books to buy, no seminars to enroll in - just straightforward conversations about concrete manufacturing. These one-on-one conversations can be held by his traveling to your office, your traveling to his office in Central California, or by telephone - just simple, quality, expert solutions to concrete project questions. Start-Up Businesses Lesnick understands the pitfalls of beginning a start-up business in this field, as his very successful Mark Concrete (Moss Landing, California, www.markconcrete.com) was new just five years ago. His unique experience in the field can save new decorative concrete businesses from unnecessary mistakes. Mark is equipped to arm you with knowledge regarding material mix, color and finish technique, and technology, reducing the amount of time and money spent on ruined projects and unbillable hours. He doesn't think you have to "recreate the wheel" to make your company a success; he wants you to become self-reliant as soon as possible. Designers, Architects, Contractors, and Homeowners Anyone with a decorative concrete project in mind can take the manufacture of that project to a developmentally advanced echelon by contracting with Lesnick for one or as many hours as needed to complete that project. For those who lack the concrete expertise, he answers the questions, "How do I get to where I need to go on this project?" or "What am I going to do now that I have this pile of rock and sand?" Lesnick feels that the cost of the material used in each project should be in-consequential, that the usage of local materials would remove lofty material shipping costs from the equation entirely. He can advise you of the local materials you have available and the integrity of that material's durability. Lesnick will show you how to combine your mix design with those locally available materials, resulting in a naturally "green" solution to the materials question. If you are in the decorative concrete business, Lesnick's guidance in the local materials area can save your company valuable operating capital on an ongoing basis.
