The TCO Method™ Podcast
I'm Andy McQuade, every Tuesday and Thursday we'll be discussing real estate, looking at everything through the window of Total Cost of Ownership.
In this podcast we'll cover the latest news and updates impacting real estate as well as best practices for operations, procurement, capital expenditures, risk management, compliance and more.
I've been working with real estate developers, builders, investors, contractors, operators and owners since 1997 and consulting for the industry since 2019.
I developed The TCO Method™ to create a sustainable increase in NOI & value that can be repeated at scale across multiple business models & asset classes.
