Cold Form Viable?
I know there’s a lot of limitations with cold form (span restrictions, load limits) compared to red iron, but has anyone used it? We are developing in DFW so snow isn’t that much of an issue and we are targeting smaller unit sizes anyway. In all likelihood I wouldn’t go this route, but wanted to get other opinions.

I’ve seen both and personally lean red iron and have recently brought my pricing for red iron equal to or slightly lower than cold. Red gives you the flexibility of having a completely open space thus offering multiple bays for larger tenants. Cold form utilizes load bearing walls to demise bays, which results in smaller framed openings between bays. Can definitely work, but that’s my two cents.

@Shital Thakkar Thank you, sir.
Monthly Basecamp Networking Call
We ran a poll, and monthly won clearly over weekly - so let's make it happen. The format: A 45-60 min call built entirely around meeting people, not listening to a presentation. We'll break into rooms of 3-4 for 15-minute rounds, rotating 3-4 times - so by the end you'll have actually talked to 6-10 people in the community.. No prep needed. Show up, introduce yourself, talk shop, repeat. Now the hard part: picking a day and time that works. We're spread across time zones and schedules, so rather than guess, help me find the best fit. Rather than run another poll with a long list of days and times, drop a comment with your best day/time (and time zone) - e.g. 'Tuesday evenings, ET' or 'Weekend mornings, CT.'" I will leave this open for 7 days and then try to find a day and time that works for as many people as possible.

Wednesday afternoon CST is good for me, but will jump in if available with a week’s notice. Friday could be flexible as well. Kudos for trying to herd all of these cats!

Hello everyone. Look forward to engaging and learning with the group. We have built and owned many flex/industrial buildings but have our first true small bay project about to start moving dirt.

Great to have you, Matt! Sounds you have a ton to bring to the group.
FP USA and Cody’s videos
Man, if y'all aren’t watching @Cody Payne’s park tour videos, you’re missing out on some short, direct and informative guides. Way cheaper and easier than visiting these parks in person, and Cody brings the expertise. Texas focused, but very informative for any developer. https://youtu.be/xY-XkHcXm1s?is=bF1g5kodNRwGepKT
