"Choose a job you love and you will never work a day in your life. " - Confucius
As you know, nothing is more rewarding than building a beautiful landscape for your clients (except maybe receiving the final payment). To be able to stand back and admire what you and your company created, from virtually nothing, is an experience few people get to enjoy. We, however, get to do it every day. As a member of FromDesign2Build.com, you will learn:
- The latest construction techniques and details
- How to properly sequence a design/build installation
- How to seamlessly transfer a project from design/sales to construction
- How to manage labor and materials more effectively and more profitably
- When you should use subcontractors and when you shouldn't
- Which on site meetings are critical and which are a waste of time
- How to get more production from your employees every day
