I recently received an email from a General Contractor who expressed an interest in working in the TAJ community (I have included his email* at the bottom of this post). He was apparently referred by a TAJ owner I have want to say "good job" to that person who made the contact. The more we can get qualified workers interested in our community the more we can all benefit.
Because I was on the BOD during a time when building refurbishments were in full-swing, and because my wife is the Chief Financial Officer of a very successful General Contracting firm, I know that the daily workings of a construction project are a complicated business that requires the expertise of people with specialized knowledge.

Because I was on the BOD during a time when building refurbishments were in full-swing, and because my wife is the Chief Financial Officer of a very successful General Contracting firm, I know that the daily workings of a construction project are a complicated business that requires the expertise of people with specialized knowledge. Those people include
- General Contractor, Architect, and Engineer with a state license and in good standing with the DBPR
- Office bookkeeper with knowledge of construction accounting
- Project Manager with construction knowledge and the will-power to argue with a GC (a seemingly juvenile, but none-the-less necessary part of every construction job I've ever witnessed)
- Accoutant with expertise in construction loans, financing, etc
- Attorney to oversee contracts and to aggressively pursue claims of poor performance (again, an oddly necessary part of doing business with GCs)
- An educated, interested, and involved owner (or group of owners) that actively participate and ensure that the other experts do their jobs
