Company outings in the South—the guys chose this over golf!

How to save $5k and avoid a plumbing/septic crash course: There’s no such thing as a “flushable wipe”. Dishwasher and laundry pods are plastic and never dissolve entirely.

The GC sales cycle can be extraordinarily long. Our average time from first contact to breaking ground is ~6mo (relatively quick imo). This means: - First half of 2025 is largely baked. Growth (and contraction) happens slowly. - Necessity to qualify a lead within first

Moreover, this glacial sales cycle can cause unforeseen cash flow constraints when hiring to meet growth. Project start dates often get delayed 90+ days. Three months of payroll without corresponding revenue will cause drag. Solution: extend projected start date from onset.

Yo Christian Ruf the Al Mack episode on Shawn Ryan pod is pretty stellar. 160th has some baaaaaad dudes.

Concrete set for another $5/yard increase April 1. Raw material inflation + Electric code updates + New HVAC efficiency requirements... New construction pricing continues to rise.

GC Saturday night: Ctrl + C “Please confirm [*insert material package*] estimate sent on Friday for [*insert job name*] before truck departs Monday.” Ctrl + V

Taking a page from Artem Tepler | R.E. Developer and ordering window and door package from China on a couple new builds. If this works, price is tough to beat. What do you think this door costs?

Final punch takes longer than Christmas. Furnished Friday and handing over keys next week. Onward!

Today’s edition of GC neuroticisms: Over-engineering slab reinforcement that won’t see anything more than foot traffic 😬

New starts in February are tough. Footings filling with groundwater, site gets sloppy early, and dodging rain racing to get concrete in the ground. Team's stress levels are elevated--should be back to baseline come Monday afternoon. Proud of our guys getting things done.

Super Bowl has a new meaning today

Hustled to prep footings before inspection this morning. Pump driver forgot his 4WD at home this morning. I’m sure his boss will love a $2k tow bill and nothing billable. Tracking in cement on skids now with an hour before the plant closes. 6” of rain forthcoming in the next

Framers using circ saws without guards is a flex. (pls don’t show this to our insurance guy)

Unplanned retaining wall: Somebody (🙋) didn’t review elevations pre-construction but at least our dirt guy loves us.

In the home stretch at this pottery studio! Most excited to share the custom retractable ship’s ladder designed and fabricated by the guys in our shop. Install today!

A way cool custom ladder at this studio is a hit! Proud of the guys pulling this off

Just got back from 10 days in Norway and guys….their roof game is 🔥

Our tiniest new build might go down as our most fun ever. The coolest space purpose-built for a pretty incredible artist and great person:
