Description
This week on The Build Show Podcast, Matt and Jeremy Martin of RisherMartin Fine Homes out of Austin, Texas, go deep into fixed-price vs. cost-plus contracts.
Jeremy and his partner, Chris Risher, have been in business together for a year, but they've been in the industry since 2010. They do a mix of architect-driven remodeling and new home building but started as a renovation company. They believe, as Matt does, that being a remodeler makes you a better builder because you can see what has gone wrong in the homes you're remodeling and take action to prevent those issues in new projects.
RisherMartin works mainly with fixed-price contracts, while Risinger Build works with cost-plus agreements. They drill into what makes a good fixed-price job and what's a better fit for a cost-plus builder, and what those processes look like.
Listen in while they discuss the risks and benefits of both business models for builders and their clients.

Episode 6: Disruptions in the Building Supply Chain: On today’s episode I’m joined by two very special guests from the go-to company for all your sealant caulk, and stain needs -- Sashco. Nathan and Les are discussing all things supply chain disruption (it sure has been crazy out there) and what to do if you can’t find your preferred product for a build. With an increased demand for housing and this bottleneck in the supply chain, it’s become a little (a lot) more difficult to source the products we need. Big companies like Sashco are no different and have been placed on percentage allocation until things are back to normal meaning they’ve had to adapt to make things work. With back-orders looking to affect companies until mid-summer, we likely won’t see normal trade resume until early fall. With this in mind, Nathan and Les are talking us through some of the key features to look out for when making performance tradeoffs to meet your business’s demand.
