Construction Management: Your
New Revenue Stream

Renee Biery, Devignier Design Studio

Designers give up revenue and stability when they stick to design services alone. Adding construction management to their business - not consulting, but actual project oversight - brings in a new revenue stream. This feels especially timely right now. In a market where clients are more cautious and projects are harder to close, designers who can manage the full build have a real advantage over those who hand a project off once the drawings are done. Join luxury designer and host of "Only Girl on the Jobsite" Renee Biery as she teaches you the keys to unlocking this profitable service.
