Pricing construction is like a game of chess. In recent years, it has felt like that game was being held outside during a hurricane with powerful forces putting pressure on labor, pricing and material availability. To win at chess, players need a combination of skills: knowledge of the rules, strategy and calculated risk. The same rings true in today’s construction marketplace.
