Contractor Coalition Summit

Mark sits down with Ally to talk about how Contractor Coalition expanded her view of what a boutique building company can become. They get into fixed bid vs. cost plus, brand partnerships, keynote speaking, BuildHer, and the move into larger developer and owner's rep work through the lens of community, diversification, and legacy. It is a strong reminder that staying boutique does not mean thinking small.
