Working with a Contractor - Part 1 & 2

Working with a Contractor: two-part workshop

Don’t let your home improvement project become a horror story. This workshop will help you avoid common pitfalls so that the end result of your project is in line with your expectations for both quality and budget. In Part 1, you will learn about how to define your own expectations for the work you need and how to find, evaluate, and choose a contractor, with a particular focus on maintaining good communication. In Part 2, we will discuss written contracts, change orders, schedules, budget, and requirements such as licensing, permits, zoning, inspections, and insurance. There will be plenty of time for discussion. Participants must enroll in both Parts 1 and 2.

Paul Kiefer has more than 20 years of experience as a woodworking contractor. He previously worked at BBR, coordinating deconstruction services for the Reuse Center.

Part 1: Saturday, December 9 9:30 a.m.–12:30 p.m.

Part 2: Saturday, December 16 9:30 a.m.–12:30 p.m.
