Education and networking for restoration contractors in Washington State

At the end of 2021 we formed the Fellowship of Construction Knowledge and Entrepreneurial Development with a simple idea, get local contractors together to connect, collaborate, and conquer on their shared challenges. Coming out of the shutdowns, many professionals expressed a desire to return to in-person gatherings for education and networking with their peers. We put the idea to the test and have proven this to be true. ​

Regular meetings occur the second Tuesday of every month and will resume in January of 2023. These meetings are primarily discussion based as business leaders shared that they enjoy bouncing ideas off and learning from their peers. Each meeting has a topic so that participants can come prepared to discuss and engage.

​Prior discussions have included:

• Creative ideas for marketing your business
• Attracting and hiring new candidates
• The Washington State lien process 
• What is the good faith expectation for an insurance claim - Guest Roger Howson
• Protecting your money as a contractor 
• Creating your own pricelist for insurance work - Guest Ben Justesen
