If a project is over budget, who does the cutting? How early should you estimate costs on a project? What should you do with expensive suggestions? How do you make your own cost estimate?
Host Jonathan Alger (C&G Partners) goes through a list of “Black Belt Cost Control Tips.” Along the way: the beauty of modularity, poker wisdom, and ideas that will save you a lot of time and money.
Talking Points:
1. Plan to NOT Be Over Budget
2. Modular Alternates
3. React Fast to Expensive Suggestions
4. The End Is Too Late / Estimate Insanely Early
5. Estimate Repeatedly
6. Adjust As You Go
7. Control the Cuts Yourself
Bio:
We always start with a bio, but this is a solo show, so here’s mine: I am the Managing Partner of C&G Partners, a design firm in New York City working with cultural clients. I was taught architecture and graphic design in the day, and theater and music at night, but I never thought I could do all that for a living. Like every guest on this show so far, I got into this field accidentally. In fact it found me, decades ago, but that’s a story for another time.
