 Sun Tzu wrote that in The Art of War over 2,000 years ago and it’s truer today than ever. Builders and remodelers are doers. You excel at using the right tools and tactics to execute a plan. Focusing on executing tactics works well in building but is incomplete when applied to building a business. Contractors too often attempt to reach their business objectives only by applying tactics, resulting in a “try this, try that” approach. This FREE report is designed to help contractors understand and implement business strategies that will get them all the way to their business goals. LEARN MORE

October 22, 2019 at 12 pm Central Time
Ventilation is a vitally important factor in the design, construction and operation of luxury kitchens.

In addition, the course will address the importance of ventilation for the space and occupant health.
Learning Objectives:

Writing recently in REMODELING's sister publication JLC, I tackled an issue that is encroaching more and more on the industry—the shortage of skilled labor. It's a problem that ramped up a decade ago and we seem no closer to a solution. In May, the NAHB Remodeling Market Index reported that roughly 85% of remodelers reported shortages of workers available to perform finished or rough carpentry, and nearly half (48%) classified the shortage of finish carpenters as "serious."

If you live in Ohio, you’re already twice as likely to die from an opioid overdose as someone from anywhere else in the Midwest. The state has a general problem. If you live there and work construction—say a remodeler—your odds are even worse; you’re seven times more likely to be killed by opioids, in fact.

Real design/builders see design/build as a way of doing business, not simply a service offered to consumers. The way they do marketing, sales, design, estimating, project development, scheduling and handoffs are strategic and different than general remodelers because it’s design/build, not bid/build.
This all needs to be thought-out before offering design/build because prospects must agree to how it will work at your business before allowing them to become customers.
