Course 10 - Understanding Contractors

Most owners walk onto their job site as strangers. They do not know who everyone is, what each person is responsible for, or why their project seems to be sharing time with five other jobs. That confusion is expensive and it is entirely avoidable.

This course explains who every person on your job site is, what they need from you to do their best work, how subcontractor scheduling actually works, and how to handle a conflict without destroying a working relationship you still need to finish your build. Being the right kind of owner is a skill. This course teaches it.
