273: Construction Management is Profitable  

Welcome to the podcast! Today, I’m joined by the talented Renee Biery, a luxury interior designer, construction expert, and the host of the Only Girl on the Jobsite podcast. We’re diving into an incredible conversation about expanding your design services to include construction management. Whether you’re already doing this or thinking about it, we’ll cover some of the common challenges—pricing, pitfalls, and the essential things to keep an eye on. Renee is an expert in navigating these areas, and we’re excited to share her insights with you. We hope you enjoy the conversation!  

Topics Mentioned:

• Project Management 

• Pricing 

• Confidence 

• Team Work 

 

Key Thoughts: 

• I think that's where designers can trip themselves up unintentionally. They see themselves as the outsider, as the only girl on the job site, and it's very easy to just stay in that role.  Renee Biery

   

• What's interesting is when we show up in a space, already personally aware that we deserve to be in the space, we don't feel like we have something to prove.  Michele Williams

   

• Even those who know what they should be charging, or they already are charging, they aren't charging what they believe they are worth because they're uncertain of their worth.  Renee Biery 

   

• We're looking for this fast track, and the truth of the matter is, we don't need to fast track our pricing.  Michele Williams
