b'We\\u2019re excited to have Tim White of J.L. Dunn & Company join us to discus the unique challenges of Being a General Contractor in Boston and the evolution of the construction business. We covered a wide range to topics including:\\n\\nWhat\\u2019s the difference between a GC and CM? Are there any true GC\\u2019s left out there? Is the pendulum swinging back?\\n\\nIs it challenging to get multiple bids in a market where everyone is extremely busy? \\n\\nHow has the skilled labor shortage affected Tim\\u2019s business in Boston?\\n\\nDo you feel that the quality of drawings has diminished over the years? What do you think accounts for that & how does it affect your jobs. \\n\\nRecommendations for a developer on hiring a contractor? What questions should they ask?\\n\\nWhat\\u2019s the difference between GMP and lump sum and are there situations where one is better than the other? \\n\\nDevelopers are sometimes lured by a low conceptual level budget and then come to find out pricing is much higher. What advice do you have for developers to avoid falling into such a trap?'
