Session Code: FR70

Track: Cabinet/Millwork

Speaker: Rick Thaler, OGB Architectural Millwork

Many woodworkers begin and grow in the residential market.  Commercial and institutional woodworking is a completely different world. Rick shares a detailed picture of what to expect if you are new to or considering the commercial world.  He covers selling, estimating and project management, as well as manufacturing and installation.  The focus is on the differences between the two types of work, the potential risks, pitfalls and rewards. Learn how to evaluate a potential job, how to avoid common problems with commercial general contractors and how to set up a commercial job for a well-organized, smooth-running and profitable project.
