Black Belt Cost Control Tips (The Podcast)
(P.S. Will you be at AAM this weekend in Denver? Drop a line if you’d like to catch up there, or see if we can find Phil & Monique at the grab-and-go café.)
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) talks “Black Belt Cost Control Tips.” Along the way: the beauty of modularity, poker wisdom, and some ideas that will save you a lot of time and money.

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.
