“Comparing a large commercial job to a smaller residential one can sound impressive, but sometimes the profit margin in dollars and cents is the same. However, it can involve much more work and lead to payment delays. As such, I always advise people to create cash flow projections, especially when transitioning from residential to commercial, or when taking on a mid-size client versus a large one. You might not think about it, and all you see are the dollars and cents, but this is how you can unwittingly grow yourself out of business. If you are prepared, you can do amazing things. If you are not, it can be a challenge.” – Lynette Watson, University of Missouri Extension – Small Business Development Center NWFA Real Answers Podcast – Running Your Business Proactively
“You can put reclaimed wood elements into modern spaces to make them unique and one of a kind. We’re seeing more and more of that in our industry, whether in big commercial jobs or modern home settings. A lot of architects and designers are looking for ways to bring the outside in. Bringing reclaimed wood into that atmosphere not only accomplishes that, but also sets the tone for craftsmanship and creativity.” – Tommy Sancic NWFA Wood Talk Podcast – A Conversation with Tommy Sancic of Olde Wood Limited
