The labor market continues to be worrisome, especially when it comes to renovation and construction. Guest Bernie Ronnisch of Ronnisch Construction advised pre-planning hiring your trades because people are always looking to the future for work.  It is also critical to make sure that they are paid on time.  When work is this plentiful, your reputation is everything.

Guest Michael Sabrosky of Oliver Hatcher Construction added that construction managers are always looking for good drawings.  He also suggested that throwing events and inviting subcontractors in – new and old – can be helpful in building strong relationships with subcontractors.
