  • Good Listen!

    It’s a construction podcast with not too much in-the-weeds construction talk but enough to learn something. The guys joke around and keep it light. I enjoyed it!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Chad Mease - Redstart Construction
Q: What challenges do you face with budgeting during the design phase, and how do you manage change orders?
Chad noted that budgets often change due to material price fluctuations, requiring ongoing communication and flexibility; they use a Design and Selections Agreement and a lump-sum construction contract, with change orders mainly driven by scope additions from homeowners.
Chad Mease - Redstart Construction
Q: How many projects are you typically handling at once, and how is your team structured?
The firm typically handles around 30 projects concurrently, with a staff including five designers, five project managers, carpenters, laborers, a project developer, an office manager, and an executive officer, allowing for integrated design and construction.
Chad Mease - Redstart Construction
Q: What prompted Redstart to bring design in-house, and how did that evolve?
Chad explained that in-house design came early as a way to create a one-stop shop, reduce blame-shifting among architects, interior designers, and builders, and improve project workflow. All designers are on salary, and the firm maintains control of the design-to-build process to keep costs and timing aligned.
The Puppy - Jan Goryl
Q: Which is tougher to manage, Mike or John?
Both present different kinds of leadership challenges; Mike handles paperwork and coordination while John is more hands-on and hands-on with site pace.
The Puppy - Jan Goryl
Q: Would you rather fight one horse-sized duck or 100 duck-sized horses?
100 duck-sized horses, because they're easier to handle and can be stepped on, making the challenge manageable.
