Mike Hartnett is a prominent figure in the construction and real estate sector, currently serving as a vice president and partner at Plumb House. With a rich history in multifamily construction, Mike has extensive experience in various roles, from his beginnings as a project engineer to becoming a senior superintendent.
Mike offers invaluable insights into the importance of maintaining strong relationships with design partners familiar with wood frame construction to ensure project design aligns with realistic pricing methods.
Throughout the conversation, Mike and Rens explore the strategic advantages of Plumb House's niche focus on multifamily construction and self-performing subcontractor roles. Their discussion reveals how a company's geographical reach and in-depth specialization contributes to its success in limited market segments, enabling better data collection and faster learnings across projects. The importance of cultivating long-term customer relationships, investing in the labor force, and adapting to market fluctuations like the recent tariff uncertainties are also pivotal topics explored in the session.
