Glad it was helpful!

Thank you for your reply. We aim to educate contractors and homeowners.

Thank for you comment. what was the biggest thing that helped you out from this video?

What was your biggest take away from this? Is there anything else that I can help you define better?

You are welcome. I have been in construction for 30 years now and we are always developing our agreements. What was it that you liked most about the information I spoke about?

You are welcome. What was most helpful?

Thank you. What is your line of work?

@@ogdencontractingltd Thanks for asking! I'm just studying the subject. I have worked with carpentry finish trim, kitchen and railing in the past, starting in 2002 till 2011, when I came back from the US. I´m a Brazilian. I'm thinking about learning more about the topic to work as a consultant, bid works and work more like a gc, finding good subcontractors that fit the work I can get. I'm really at the beginning. And I thank you very much for the attention and care that you gave with this part of the contract. Here in Brazil, I worked a lot with my father when I was a teenager and a bit far, between my 15 and 24 years, he is a lawyer and the contracts business, I have brought it with me my whole life. Now I'm an engineer, but I never left those good times abroad behind. Nice to meet you my friend! You and your family have a great weekend and life!

I hope the video was informative and helped you.

Our lawyer helped write the original document. I think that cost around $1,500 CAD. And each time he looks it over he charges me an hour at $280. It’s cheap insurance.

What is it you are trading? Is it in construction?

Saying sole trader is confusing. I don’t think many of us know what you mean by sole trader.

I love it. I’m not sure if this is a compliment or not but let’s assume so. Thank you.

Yes we do. We hope to film that video in the next 3 months. We have a great proposal agreement that gets us in the door with the owner and gets you paid upfront for estimating.

@@ogdencontractingltd that’s great to know. The day I found your channel was the day we received a decline from a client for our services. She basically stated she was not accustomed to doing business with contractors that charge a fee for proposal services. My response was, just because you’re not “accustomed too” doesn’t mean it’s not happening. It’s typical for industry professionals to price for the services they provide. We didn’t even try to argue our point…🤝

Can you please elaborate? Is this a question or can I help clarify something?
