The second way we saved money was by producing very complete plans, so that contractors could bid on every aspect of the job.
The final thing that helped us keep costs down the state of the construction industry in Atlantic City in the spring of 1982. Thousands of local construction workers were either out of work or about to be. That gave us a lot of leverage with contractors. I wasn't looking to force these guys to make such bad deals that they'd lose money. On the other hand, I was in a position to negotiate very reasonable prices.
I got the building finished right on schedule. It represented the first casino-hotel in Atlantic City ever built on time and on budget.
