On Wednesday, March 9, the Barton Malow Builders Maryland team partnered with Johns Hopkins University to present best practices to diverse businesses in construction at a workshop titled, “How To Be a Rock Star Contractor: Key Things To Know and Do Once You’ve Won the Contract.”
The event’s attendees were comprised of BLocal alumni from six previous cohorts. BLocal is a collective of Baltimore-area businesses committed to leveraging its influence and resources to create opportunities for local, women- and minority-owned businesses. During the event, presenters shared information on cost-loaded scheduling, pay applications, submittals, active/upcoming bid opportunities, and more.
