“House Talk” Radio Program
House Talk is somewhat different than most of the other “remodel” radio and television programs. It focuses on the administration and applications necessary to successfully complete construction projects. Whether large or small, new construction or remodeling, the processes that need to be followed are similar:
- planning and design
- budgeting and estimating
- permits and inspections
- contractors and contracting
- insurance and bonding
- payments and liens
- scheduling and construction
- documentation and bookkeeping
With so little information available to the public about these procedures, there exists an environment for confusion and complication. After 35 years of building and construction experience, host David Schooler offers knowledge about these often mysterious and intimidating processes.
With a small amount of information, you can more easily navigate your way through your project. Don’t let your inexperience stop you from enjoying the process of building as well as enjoying the building itself.
