Reduce Construction Time & Boost Profitability

Matt kicks off Season 5 of The Build Podcast with Jeremy Martin of Risher Martin Fine Homes, discussing strategies to reduce construction time while maintaining quality and profitability. They emphasize meticulous planning, minimizing change orders, and streamlining workflows. Jeremy highlights how fixed-price contracts require precise pre-planning, while cost-plus contracts offer flexibility but higher risks. His team boosts efficiency through pre-ordering materials, dedicated project coordinators, and lean construction techniques. A real-world case study shows how these methods cut a luxury home build from 24 to 12 months. Ultimately, reducing build time leads to higher profitability, fewer delays, and improved client satisfaction.
