COLUMBUS, OH — Contractors with questions about a current project, bid, estimate, contract or other construction challenge will have an opportunity to get some answers during a free virtual session hosted by the Ohio Business Development Center (OBDC).
Ask the Construction Expert will be held Wednesday, August 12, from noon to 1:15 p.m. The session will provide contractors with private 15-minute consultations with an experienced construction professional.
Rather than another webinar or general presentation, Ask the Construction Expert is designed to give contractors individualized assistance with the issues they are facing in their businesses and on their projects.
Contractors can bring questions related to estimating and bidding, contracts, plans and specifications, project management, change orders, scheduling, subcontractor management, bonding and insurance, certifications, government contracting, cash flow, payment issues and other construction-related concerns.
How It Works
Five private appointments will be available between noon and 1:15 p.m.
Contractors will select an available 15-minute appointment when registering. On August 12, participants will join the Zoom meeting shortly before their scheduled appointment and remain in the waiting room until the construction professional is ready for them.
Each consultation will be private and focused on the individual contractor’s question or project.
