What Top Builders Do Differently: Insights from Our New Industry Survey
Q: What would you tell younger builders about pricing and selling value to avoid underbidding?
Know your pricing and overhead, and sell the value instead of underselling. Build enough margin to cover overhead and staffing, avoid chasing every job at thin margins, and trust that proper pricing attracts the right clients who value quality and process.
What Top Builders Do Differently: Insights from Our New Industry Survey
Q: Where do you see margin risk in your projects, and how has the shift from fixed-price to cost-plus helped manage that risk?
Margin risk often occurs at scope gaps and during price escalations in commodities. Moving to cost-plus with clear contingency and escalation clauses helps cover unpredictable costs while maintaining price discipline and client trust.

Q: What are you most excited about for Cardinal Crest looking ahead, and how do you balance growth with capacity?
