#65 Jim Caruk - The Godfather of Construction nearly 50 years of experience to share Part II

Part II of Jim Caruk – The Godfather of Construction and Jim gets right into his very first build as a tween and his first run in with an inspector. Jim shares more of his great insight into the construction industry.

Jim gets into his details and what has worked for him and his clients, from plaster crown to his love for wood trim. He discusses how the trades have changed over the decades and what they are like today versus the 80’s, 90’s and 2000’s. Keeping the jobsite clean, professional, and how to deal with the new digital age on site and online.

Jim has always had a love for the business and anyone can see it when they walk through one of his homes. He has built himself a few homes and sold those homes for exactly what they were worth and stuck to his price because of the respect of the work, a few great stories about those sales.

We finally get into Jim’s other passion, Renos For Heroes a charity he began to help wounded soldiers. Jim with help from the Canadian government has helped so many people that have given up so much.

Lastly we get into van or pick-up, what tool brand is he and a few interesting quick question and answer inquires.

A massive thank you to Jim for spending the 3 plus hours with us talking construction. Really appreciate your time, your knowledge, your stories. Two amazing shows worth listening to the very end.
