Create harmony between client and contractor. BUILDING TRUST BLOG MATCH MAKING Create harmony between client and contractor. Back to Blog 2022-11-05 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K69HtDDWZyk You really need certain relationships to "work”. Shawn Van Dyke discusses the process of renovation contractors getting matched with the right custom renovation clients. The connection between Client and Contractor is definitely one of them. Why? Because much is at stake when you enter a Build agreement, like your home and large sums of money. In this episode of Ready, Set, Renovate we delve into the client/contractor relationship. We invite you to watch as we examine why some relationships are harmonious and productive while others are highly strained. Our guest, Shawn Van Dyke, is a construction business coach, keynote speaker, and author of two books - Profit First for Contractors and The Paperwork Punch List. Most contractors are not profitable which makes them feel uncertain about what they need to do to grow their construction businesses. Shawn believes construction business owners should be as good at business as they are at their craft. That's why, after twenty-plus years of owning and operating multiple construction businesses, Shawn has decided to work with construction business owners, executives, and managers all over the world and shows them how to stop losing profits and wasting time. He is the CEO of the Built to Build Academy® which creates confident construction business owners by providing operational systems to streamline their construction business and get their life back. Rob Young of Heritage Custom Builder also joins us to share his experience and insight on the Client/Contractor relationship.

In this episode, we acknowledge the hardships caused by Helene, while also celebrating relationships forged by the storm. One of our old friends is Larry Gluck.

Larry details a few of these challenges in his story. As Daniel Builders sought vendors to assist with the custom finishes of the Gluck home, we forged a new relationship with Tidewater Lumber and Mouldings.

Know these ballpark costs before speaking with a renovation contractor. BUILDING TRUST BLOG BALLPARK COST Know these ballpark costs before speaking with a renovation contractor. < Back Will Cord 2017-04-18 Understanding the cost of a custom renovation and the amount you should be prepared to spend. How much does a kitchen remodel cost? How much does a bathroom remodel cost? You know what’s fun? Brainstorming renovation ideas. It’s a blast. Both customer and contractor enjoy this dreaming phase, visualizing what “could be”. These pleasant conversations eventually lead to a big elephant in the room: COST. Discussing cost is not only necessary, but it should also happen early in the quoting process. Delaying a cost conversation makes "sticker shock" more likely, which neither contractor nor customer enjoy. A ballpark cost is a good place to start. So what are reasonable ballpark costs for common renovations? Here’s a short list compiled by Remodeling Magazine . *Important* These are AVERAGE COSTS for an area of the country known as the South Atlantic region. Each project in the list below links to a detailed project description and diagram. Once budget and ballpark cost align, creating an accurate quote is the next step. Utilizing Design-Build ensures quoting accuracy and scope clarity.
