I knew something was off and then I remembered the art of building good working relationships in a construction space. Here's the checklist so you know if your relationship is ON track and or where it's OFF track. I have relationships that are good as some aspects and not on others. Builders who are clear and respectful yet have an aversion to you coming on site. Others who are terrible at talking about variations or problems as they arise. Here's my quick Good VS Bad simplified list of what makes relationships work. Enjoy. 🫠

Hi and welcome, We would love to hear what projects you are working on. Where you are in the world and who you like to help. This is a community for sharing and learning so let us know your learnings from your building projects. :-)

I did a recent presentation on Variations on your contracts.💥 It's a dry topic and there's some key points to remember. The presentation was to contract administrators from the perspective of a homeowner and owner builder. I thought it was relevant to this community and so I'm uploading it to our classroom for future discussion. Key messages are... you will have variations... it's a key part of building and not a reflection on poor planning or scoping. Too much variation is another issue for another day. Keep a balance and keep in control. 🚩

Building Project Women is live, our offerings are there to peruse and purchase. Some of the resources here made it over there others didn't. Skool is still our freemium platform for product development, feedback and free resources to help you renovate successfully.

I recently signed a building contract with a volume builder. 🫠 That means that there are standard contract clauses. For myself, it was a bit anxiety forming to sign the contract and I'm a seasoned contract signer for purchases, sales, building, renovating an the like. IF I am ANXIOUS others could be too. I'm setting up a series of contract demistification updates to support our women in signing documents that they're fearful of. 🏫
