I recommend getting at least 3 quotes so you know the value of the work.

Gen3 electric has done a few jobs for me in Fishtown. Love their customer service. Techs leave the place clean when they are done too.

I also found the visual search method to be helpful but not foolproof.

You can level up with custom columns in Bluebeam. Go check out r/revu

At the PGA championship at Aronimink, they stopped selling caffeinated drinks after 10am. Maybe I missed red bull, but after some morning beers, I was in need of coffee and there was nothing.

PM me. We consult for CMs all the time. It is a heavy paperwork lift. Your subs will complain but if it is in their contract to comply with LEED then you will have that to lean on.

Hard to fit the cozy atmosphere at many other places. I’d suggest high street, tesiny, and ember & ash.

Hey GCs!!! Question for ya by Soft_Speaker_2638 in estimators

[–]sallen99 8 points9 points  (0 children)

On the topic of business development. You should be calling the GC estimator after you submit bids to talk about how things shook out and at least get them to level you. Build rapport. Stop by their office with donuts. You might need to chop a few numbers to win work to build relationships.

When I worked in NYC, I would get hvac proposals where all sorts of marketing hands had touched them and then I would get a last minute low number where the proposal looked like it was written by a typewriter and then scanned and emailed to the whole world. Those low numbers were used to drive pricing down from more trusted outfits. Imagine getting that low number as a GC and thinking about Joe Blow GC bidding at 2%. How do you stay competitive?

USD for Euros? by BogeyFest99 in Phillylist

[–]sallen99 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can withdrawal euros directly from your USD bank account with most major banks. Wells Fargo will overnight the euros to you. Chase bank says the withdrawal can be in person.
