We were introduced to each other by a property manager of the condo building she was living in. She knew we weren’t the kind of contractors to shy away from a challenge — and taking over a project midway is always a challenge.

In the weeks that followed, we assessed the site conditions, drafted a hybrid fixed price plus cost agreement, and got to work.
