In this episode, we welcome Greg and Justin Janizak, owners of Generation Construction and Fine Homes Ltd., to discuss some of the issues facing the construction industry. We touch on the challenges of harassment and lack of incentives in unions, as well as the negative impact of Bill C23 on the industry. We also discuss the pros and cons of social media for construction companies and the importance of saying no when clients ask for samples.
Greg and Justin also share their thoughts on the value of not giving clients a copy of the breakdown and how to handle difficult clients. We also hear Manny's idea for a green tax credit to encourage sustainable construction practices.
