Think Pink Rocks Concert in Mizner Park, Boca Raton, FL this Saturday, October 9th, 2010

At this time, 1 in every 8 American women is affected with breast cancer in their lifetime. This weekend there is an amazing concert that will not only bring great music to residents of the surrounding Boca Raton, FL area, but will also help bring forth additional awareness to this disease that affects so many women.

The concert is the 3rd Annual Think Pink Rocks Concert. It will be held this Saturday, October 9th starting at 7pm at Mizner Park in Boca Raton, Florida. The intention of the concert is to raise awareness for breast cancer. The line up of artists is remarkable and for only $40, you will be able to watch and listen to some incredible musical performances and you’ll also be able to help raise funds for many breast cancer charities.

As a son whose father has battled cancer and won the fight, I know the significance of making sure people understand that cancer affects anyone regardless of their race, color, financial status or religion. Although my family has not been touched personally by breast cancer, I know that breast cancer has touched and will touch many lives - including many of my friends.

Building or Renovating - Why You Should Hire a General Contractor

Your home is your biggest investment. Whether you want to build a new home or renovate your current home, trying to decide if you should hire a general contractor or if you can do it yourself can often be difficult. Will it cost me more money? What about timing? Can I do this myself?

A general contractor should always be on the list of must haves. Many people believe that if they do the leg work themselves and hire the subcontractor(s) directly that they will save money. This is not always true. Often, a subcontractor will give a GC a lower price for the same contracted work since they know what job conditions to expect. They can assume that the scheduling will be organized and they can complete their scope of work in the most efficient manner. They also have ongoing relationships with your GC and are more apt to “throw something in” if there are minor changes as well as coming back for warranty work. In addition, your GC has access to multiple subcontractors for every item and can easily, quickly and competitively out bid your project, giving you the opportunity to save a lot of money.

We have all heard the horror stories of projects that seem simple but ultimately drag on for many months or even years. When you hire a GC, the experience in the industry can save you a tremendous amount of time. He/she knows how long each subcontractor will need to complete their work and who can be scheduled to work simultaneously. He/she knows how to schedule inspections properly and build rapport with inspectors to be sure that all work is being done to local building codes and passes inspection in a timely manner. Subcontractors will respond more quickly to a GC that gives him repeated work and will complete their job and return for warranty work as contracted.

Your GC is an expert in his/her field much like a doctor or lawyer is an expert in theirs. You would never consider doing your own medical procedures, nor should you assume you know how to supervise a plumber or electrician. Is the contractor using the correct materials? Is the job being done according to local building codes? Do you really need that “upgrade” or should that be included standard? In addition to those important issues, your GC will make sure subcontractors have the proper licenses and insurance, supply lien releases and permit all of the work so you will have no problems in the future.

Selecting an experienced GC like Ian Koolik of NMB Custom Homes and Renovations in Boca Raton, Florida will save you money, move your project along quickly, and make sure that you are thrilled with the end result. He will make your project seamless and easy. Ian is a licensed General Contractor, serving Florida for over 18 years.
