Nick Schiffer answers your construction, renovation, and business questions in-depth on Coffee Break. If you have a question leave it in the comments below. This week the questions are:
00:57 You have mentioned in the podcast you working with a business coach. I have recently started work with one myself and I think it's the best thing I've ever done. I would really like to know why you decided to work with one and how it's helped you.
5:07 My question however is when a client starts a bidding battle between contractors, how do you handle that? Do you talk to the other contractors? How do you negotiate with the client on T&M pricing?
9:28 If a client wants to reduce cost by working with you to do some steps like a demo, provide their own materials (vetted by GC), or some non-essential safe labor, how do you handle/negotiate that?
12:06 You spoke of structural silicone in a couple of places in the past. Very little info out there on this topic. Can you elaborate on where / when you use it?
