Some jurisdictions have a notoriously tough codes enforcement official and others have almost no oversight. But what about the non-governmental burden of the HOA? Does this “authority” protect the community or drive the cost of housing way beyond what value it adds?

Building Consensus | Episode 174: Easier to Build New or Re-Do?
It may seem so obvious as to not even warrant a discussion, but when considering the challenge of building a new home versus renovating an existing home there’s an awful lot to argue about.

Building Consensus | Episode 163: Putting The Suck In Success

Surely it can't just be as simple as setting clients expectations, can it? Find Travis & Brandon on the Web.
Building Consensus | Episode 170: Serving, Not Selling with Dan Edelman

Travis is tired of renting heavy equipment for frequent site work and paying outrageous costs for subs to excavate and haul on small additions. He seeks Brandon’s wise counsel as a long time skid steer and mini excavator owner / operator to determine if the time has come to purchase, own and operate equipment in-house.
Building Consensus | Episode 178: Movin' On Up
