Curious…How many people watch the call recordings?
The call recordings take time to prepare. Not many people are watching them, so I am considering cutting them. For example, last week’s video only has 20 views. Who is actually watching the calls and are they helpful?

I have watched 1 but have all of them on my list to binge listen when I get caught up.
For the Developers in the room...
This is a huge debate on our development projects. PEMB vs Tilt vs Wood Frame construction. Which do you prefer and why?

PEMB almost 100% in our area (Central Texas) for small bay flex. Tilt wall is generally for larger projects here. Only developer in our area doing CMU block is Personal Warehouses which I think started in Colorado and they do block on almost all their projects.
Water Usage
Good, morning. I'm a new member to this group and wanted to check if anyone has information and data on typical water usage and cost for new small bay flex developments. Thanks, Chris

Shoot me a DM and I will pull our average domestic meter usage and irrigation meter usage on 3 project locations for you.
The Quality Gap
This is a great slide from our SBF team on the widening gap between small bay industrial quality. As you can see over the years, the gap has continued to widen between effecient build and higher end build, not only does this translate from rents but also makes a big differnce when it's time to sell.

I agree with Cody on what his research is showing. Also like the concept of Showroom on the front with efficient in the rear. Look at including drive thru capabilities on your end caps if you are in the right spot for a Coffe Shop, Dry Cleaners, etc.
Flex Connect Conference — Houston, Sept 30 - Oct 1
Anyone else planning to be there? I'll be at Flex Connect this year. Two days, fully focused on flex and small bay: construction costs, financing and capital stacks, deal structure, live underwriting, the real operator stuff, not general CRE fluff. I negotiated a discount rate for Basecamp members, link below contains the discount code. Also floating an idea: if there's enough interest, I may put together a casual networking event, happy hour, dinner, the evening before (Sept 29th) for anyone in town early. Drop a comment if that's something you'd want, that'll help me gauge numbers. I am not affiliated with the conference, but I attended it a couple years ago and found it very informative. https://flexspaceconnect.com/home?am_id=willskillman8975

@Rob Calise I attended a few years ago. I think it's well worth it if you are relatively new to Flex or even if you are just considering going into it. I already had charted out game plan based on 35 years of construction and development history but I picked up some great ideas. Probably the best thing I get out of these events is meeting and networking with others. Picking up one good idea or new contact can sometimes pay you way more than the price of admission.
