Whether you’re a property investor balancing quick turnarounds with project budgets, or a local homeowner looking to protect your investment for the long haul, navigating today’s construction landscape requires a strategic approach.

Join us for an insightful session with Leisha Combs from B&T Construction (Build & Transform), a premier general contracting firm serving the Reno-Tahoe and Truckee areas. Leisha will walk us through the practical realities of building, budgeting, and protecting real estate in Northern Nevada and Northern California.

Key Topics We’ll Cover:

  • - Understanding Construction Services & Costs: Learn what goes into project pricing, how location impacts your build, and practical decisions that keep costs in check.
  • - Investment Strategies: How to align your construction decisions with your property goals—whether managing quick turnarounds, short-term rentals, or long-term holds.
  • - Smart Budgeting & Trade-offs: Key compromises to consider when project costs unexpectedly rise, without sacrificing long-term quality.
  • - Home Hardening & Fire Awareness: Discover preventative care techniques, fire safety research, and how to protect your structure against local environmental risks.
  • - Resources & Support: Practical ways B&T Construction and local industry resources can help guide your next project from plan to completion.

Who Should Attend? Real estate investors, homeowners, buyers, and industry professionals looking to make smarter construction decisions and extend the longevity of their properties.
