We've been on the hunt for another landscape architect and haven't found the perfect candidate yet. In the meantime, I am in serious need of some drafting help. AutoCad is necessary. Please let me know if y'all know anyone that may be good. I'm open to full time, part time, and freelance options.

We do a little bit of everything in the residential field. A majority of our work is renovations which consist of flooring, decks, additions, drywall, bathrooms and kitchens. We take on everything big and small. We take on siding, concrete and roofing as well but right now we sub most of that out. We're growing fast! With the work load coming in we need trained professionals that I can trust to leave on site. I'd like to build up multiple crews so we can continue to expand and grow. If you have any further questions please reach out

Men and women build mental strength the same way—gender doesn’t matter. But when it comes to counterproductive bad habits that might slow your progress or keep you stuck, gender can play a serious role.

The WBE team at 84 Lumber has been doing some research to find the biggest challenges faced by General Contractors and then we discussed solutions. One of our best practices at 84 Lumber is finding solutions for our customers. We would love to hear any comments or suggestions. Diverse perspectives are welcome!
We started with Multifamily contractors in MA.
Average Age: 42
Occupation: General Contractor
Location: Massachusetts, USA
Business Type: Construction Company specializing in multifamily building projects
Revenue: $2 million annually
Goals: This GC is responsible for procuring building materials for his multifamily construction projects in Massachusetts. His goal is to source high-quality materials at competitive prices while ensuring timely delivery. The GC aims to build durable and energy-efficient properties that meet or exceed building codes and regulations. The GC is looking to establish long-term relationships with reliable suppliers to streamline its material procurement process.
Challenges Faced:
1. The General Contractor faces the challenge of finding trustworthy suppliers who can consistently provide high-quality building materials. He needs suppliers who can meet his specific project requirements and deliver materials on time.
2. The General Contractor must balance the need for quality materials with cost considerations. He is constantly seeking competitive pricing to stay within budget without compromising on the quality and durability of the building materials.
3. Construction projects have strict timelines, and any delay in material delivery can cause disruptions and impact project schedules. The GC needs suppliers who can reliably deliver materials on time, ensuring smooth project progress.
4. The MA Contractor must ensure that the building materials he procures comply with local and national building codes and regulations. He needs suppliers who provide documentation and certifications to verify compliance.
5. The General Contractor is increasingly focused on sustainability and energy-efficient construction practices. He seeks suppliers who offer eco-friendly materials and energy-efficient solutions to meet the growing demand for green buildings.
SOLUTIONS:
1. The GC can research and evaluate suppliers based on their reputation, customer reviews, and industry experience. He can reach out to other contractors for recommendations and conduct thorough due diligence to ensure the suppliers have a track record of reliability and quality.
2. The GC can issue RFPs to multiple suppliers to compare pricing, quality, and delivery terms. This allows him to negotiate and select suppliers who offer competitive prices while maintaining the desired standards.
3. Building strong relationships with suppliers is crucial for timely deliveries and favorable terms. The GC can maintain open lines of communication, establish mutually beneficial partnerships, and negotiate long-term contracts to secure reliable supply and potentially gain volume discounts.
4. The GC should request samples and certifications from suppliers to verify the quality and compliance of materials. He can also conduct periodic on-site inspections and quality checks to ensure the materials meet the required standards.
5. Sustainability and Energy Efficiency: The GC can prioritize suppliers who offer sustainable and energy-efficient building materials. He can explore options such as recycled materials, low-emission products, and energy-efficient systems to align with his eco-friendly construction goals.
By implementing these solutions, a General Contractor can effectively address the challenges he faces in procuring building materials for his multifamily construction projects in Massachusetts. He can establish a reliable supply chain, optimize costs, ensure compliance with regulations, and contribute to sustainable and energy-efficient building practices.
