Surviving Renovations: A Construction and Contracting Blog

My name is Susan, and I want to welcome you to my blog. This blog is focused on construction and contracting, and I plan to write about these topics from a range of angles, directed to a range of audiences. My interest in construction began as a child -- my parents ran a roofing and contracting company. As an adult, I began to invest in real estate, and ultimately, I ended up buying a few empty plots and developing them. As a result, I have organised several large construction projects. I am going to take what I learned, add a bit of research to it, and pour out the results here. Thanks for reading!
