    What It's About

    This fast-paced, peer-to-peer Shop Talk explores the hidden traps builders face when stepping into urban remodeling. From underestimated complexities to the hard truth about why custom markups and allocation rarely work for remodeling, participants will compare the predictable world of ground up construction with the messy, constraint-heavy reality of remodeling in tight urban environments. Share and learn real world lessons and process shifts needed to stay profitable and sane when moving from new builds to renovation work.
