278. Why Your Construction Projects Feel Like You Worked for Free


Listen Later

When you finish a construction project feeling like you worked for free, the instinct is to assume the number was wrong.

Sometimes it is. But more often, the number was fine. What broke down was everything around it.

In this episode, I'm talking about the two specific places pricing falls apart on construction projects, and neither one is your math. The first is how you present your fee. The second is how you protect it once the project starts. Both will cost you just as reliably as a loose scope of work will. They just do it more quietly.

If you've ever hedged in a proposal meeting, absorbed hours you should have flagged, or finished a project and thought, that was so much more work than I accounted for, this one is for you.
