I am so excited to be able to bring on a GC that enjoys, appreciates, and understands the value that designers bring. My guest today is Sean Canada, Co-Owner of Park & Patina Design + Build, licensed Contractor/GC, and a big fan of the show! Sean has one foot in the Construction/job-site/GC world and one in the design. He has worked with both, hired both, and helped develop teams and people to work together to accomplish projects. He loves what both sides bring to the table and sees the need for them to be a collected team. Sean also has a wife who is a designer but is on job sites constantly. Sean also has Woman owned subs and hires onsite. He sees and engages with the design, development, and management of remodels and builds and loves to help elevate and grow the people in our industry. In today’s episode, we talk about the value a designer can bring to projects, how Sean started structuring his business differently once he started engaging with designers, and how they allowed him to see from the viewpoint of elevation and the experience of the client. We talk about how to start out in this industry if you are new, how to become a team player, licensing, permits, and more! Grab a piece of paper and pen, and get ready to take some notes and hear some insightful advice directly from a GC!   Find the full shownotes at: https://devignierdesign.com/builders-and-designers
