Mike and Marc are on summer vacation, but the vault is still open! This Vacay Replay brings back one of our favorite bonus episodes featuring NAI FMA Realty broker Andy Widman, whose background in architecture, development, and commercial real estate makes him the perfect guest to break down construction delivery methods.

What's the difference between Design-Bid-Build, Construction Management, and Design-Build? Which approach gives owners the most control? Which one keeps projects on budget? And when does each method make the most sense?

Whether you're planning a tenant improvement, a new office, or a ground-up commercial project, this episode offers practical insights into how construction teams work together—and how choosing the right delivery method can save time, money, and headaches.

As always, Mike and Marc keep the conversation informative, entertaining, and just the right amount of sarcastic.

Enjoy this Vacay Replay, and we'll be back with brand-new episodes in August!

We're on summer break, but the vault is still wide open.

This week's Vacay Replay brings back one of our favorite conversations with Shawn Herzog, Senior Vice President of Facility Maintenance at NAI FMA Realty.

From the days of green maintenance uniforms and pneumatic HVAC systems to today's smart buildings that practically text you before something breaks, Shawn walks us through how commercial building maintenance has changed over the past 35+ years.

Mike and Marc also dive into:

• Why preventative maintenance saves owners thousands
• How technology is transforming commercial buildings
• The surprising cost of ignoring HVAC systems
• Why skilled trades are more valuable than ever
• The teamwork between leasing, property management, and maintenance that keeps buildings—and tenants—happy

As always, there are plenty of laughs, a few questionable fashion memories, and even a discussion about Legionella that somehow ends with a Las Vegas buffet joke.

Whether you're a property owner, tenant, facilities professional, or just curious what goes on behind the scenes of commercial real estate, this episode is packed with practical insights and entertaining stories.
