Are you pouring time into project planning only to have homeowners walk away with your ideas for free? It’s time to start charging for pre-construction services!
In this episode, I sit down with veteran contractor David Davidson, who shares how one change helped him stop the profit bleed — and boosted his reputation at the same time. That was a surprising benefit he’d not expected!
David talks about the turning point that forced him to rethink how his company handled the front end of projects, and the surprising upside of asking clients to pay for pre-construction services.
If you’ve been feeling undervalued or stuck giving away your expertise, this conversation will show you a better way.
🎧 Plus: David has generously shared his pre-construction agreement templates (see the resources below)!
