EVENT DESCRIPTION
COVID has created lots of weirdness in the world. Home construction projects are no exception.
In this session, we’ll cover the changes to contracting during COVID, including pricing changes and expectations for timelines and safety. Why do some things cost more now? Why are timelines so long?
We’ll also discuss the future of contracting and what to ask when reaching out to contractors. You’ll feel more confident hiring and setting the right expectations with any contractors you decide to hire.
DATES AND TIMES
6 to 7pm: Social hour; 7 to 9pm: Workshop with Q&A
Third Wednesday of each month starting June 15th and ending November 16th. To be continued with enough interest.
ABOUT FEMME-FOCUSED CONSTRUCTION NIGHT
Our femme-focused construction nights are social hours and workshops for all women, femmes, transgender, bigender, non-binary, gender fluid, genderqueer, agender, and gender non-conforming folks. If you don't feel like any of these apply to you and you would still like to come, please reach out! Contact Project Manager Leah Chubb at 775-219-5256 or leah.chubb@greensavers.com.
We have three goals:
Connection. This is a safe space for people who don’t know what they’re doing to improve their homes. You may not be able to do a project yourself, but if you make a construction buddy, you can team up for projects.
Education. There's a misperception that you should know about all the details in your home. That's bullshit. We want to clear away assumptions about what you should or shouldn’t know. Learn something new, and practice with the pros in our workshops.
Empowerment. You'll leave empowered with an understanding of what you need to take charge of home improvement projects.
