Expansion in the US?
Site Sensitive Costs
In a relocation or expansion, there WILL be short term costs. There MAY be long term benefits.
Costs for land, construction, utilities, labor, taxes, transportation, and administration vary by location, which also affects logistics and transportation cost. These costs can be quantified in advance and compared. The purpose of this section is to anticipate what line items of cost will vary by location, considering the products and process. Both source and destination locations must be considered in the financial comparison. Then, during a site selection process, JPR can quantify the relative cost for each site.
Initial acquisition will vary by location
Cost of acquisition will vary by location, in one of two ways:
The property on the market at any time will affect both the selection and the price
New construction or retrofit will be a function of area labor rates and material costs, and both those vary dramatically across the US.
Operating cost will vary by location
Direct people; base rate, plus mandated or customary benefits, payroll taxes and insurance
Indirect people; base rate, plus mandated or customary benefits, payroll taxes and insurance
Testing and training, based on the quality of available employees
Utilities; Electricity, Water, Gas, Waste treatment, Communications;
Occupancy; taxes, insurance, maintenance, HVAC depending on the local climate
Regulatory; licenses, emissions, effluents; air and water quality
Logistics; transportation for incoming materials; shipments to customers
Customs and Border; product and materials duties, marking
Taxes and development incentives are major contributors to cost by location. These are covered at

Success in international site search is easier with experienced, objective, confidential assistance in the destination country. JPR does not work for communities or states, to avoid conflict of interest. Our objective is to find the most satisfactory solution for our clients.
