Share on LinkedinThe industry has known for some time that we shouldn't be giving away our expertise, but while many claim to charge for all their time estimating projects and meeting perspective clients, few explain the nuance of when and how. Jake joins the hosts to get granular on those details and how to execute them.

Building Consensus | Episode 136: Rational Upgrades or Irrational Expenditures with Bryan Uhler
Episode 136
Building custom homes allows a simplistic view on wether a product or process is “worth it” or not. If it’s worth it to the client then it goes in the build, but in speculative construction that decision is solely left to the builder. Bryan Uhler builds both spec and custom so we discuss what items are rational upgrades and which are irrational expenditures.
Building Consensus | Episode 134: Builder vs. Architect - Who’s Responsible? with Steve Baczek
Episode 134
When Steve took builders to task for not sharing on-demand pricing on his podcast one of our hosts took umbrage. We determine who needs to know off the cuff costs, who needs to share what information to facilitate that process, and even wether or not it’s productive to offer incomplete pricing off of incomplete information. Also, Pie vs. Cookies. Thank you to our sponsor Huber Engineered Woods. Learn more at www.huberwood.com.

Building Consensus | Episode 129: Showing Your Work with Jake Bruton
Episode 129
When perspective clients ask for references it’s easy to share a few email addresses or phone numbers from people who would say nice things. What’s more challenging is navigating the request of those potential clients for us to allow them access to our past clients homes.
Building Consensus | Episode 128: BS* Bubble or BS& Buffet with Peter Yost
Episode 128

Building Consensus | Episode 127: Guts and Numbers with Bryan Uhler
Episode 127
The construction decisions Builders face are hard enough, but when you add the challenge of viewing them through the lens of cost accounting it can feel insurmountable. Pioneer Builders owner Bryan Uhler peels back a couple layers on the numbers onion for us.
Building Consensus | Episode 125: The Best of Times & Worst of Times with Matt Risinger
Episode 125
We get the big boss man in to discuss what the best part of being the boss is and by comparison- what the worst parts are. The idea that we as business owners get to wake up and decide if we’ll take the week off or spend our day getting rich is pure fantasy. But how bad is it really - and just how great can it be?
