This Discussion goes out to all those in the southern area of Michigan and northern Indiana that are in the building industry.(by the way I’m referring to Port land OR as boom town.)
I am a Contractor specializing in Framing I’ve been in the business 10 years 6 years in my own business. I have a succesfull business with many
good accounts. We have family in the southern end of Michigan near Elk hart, Grainier, and South Bend. My Question is what is Building doing in that area, What are wages, What Can I expect to be different(i.. In OR I frame the house, set the roof frame, sheet, set windows and when the pickup work is done I move on to the next home.)
In Michigan Does the G.. Frame, roof, Side, and do the Finish work? I guess I am wondeering how my business would have to change?
Any other insight would be much appreciated?
I like the idea of the land being cheaper! and of the input I’ve had from my family they say the new homes are not that much cheaper. So it would seem that there is a profit in there somewhere.
Thanks in advance for your input.
Looking forward to hunting whitetail!!
