The Difference Between Project Owners Who Protect Their Capital and Those Who Get Taken? They Know The Game.
Trent Ashoo has watched institutional owners lose millions on NYC construction.
Not because they weren't smart.
Not because they didn't have capital.
Not because they hired bad architects.
But because nobody told them the truth about how contractor profit really works.
Your $4.2M bid? There's probably $600K-$900K in "missing scope" that'll hit you as change orders 3 months in.
That $340K "unforeseen conditions" claim? That's not unforeseen. That's the profit model.
Those schedule delays costing you $40K-$100K per week in lost revenue? That's leverage—keeping you desperate so you'll pay anything to finish.
And every single time Trent has protected an owner from these games?
