Jim Kaslik one of my online friends and acquaintances from Fine Homebuilding Magazines BreakTime Forum (where I know him as Cloud Hidden) who designs homes as sculptural concrete forms (they’re more than just domes) posted a link in the BreakTime forums to a great article he discovered in the blue flavor web site blog entitled Pricing a Project that I think is a gem and while it’s written from the viewpoint of a design, development and consulting company there are plenty of lessons in it that building and remodeling contractors can learn from too.
In addition to reading that article on pricing I would also think that most of the building and remodeling contractors I know would really enjoy taking a look at the kind of stuff that Jim does in his practice so take a trip to the Cloud Hidden Designs, LLC web site (CloudHidden.org) and take a look at the great designs he has developed.
