Managing Client Expectations Through The Pre-Construction Process

What It’s About

Builders often believe they are delivering a superior experience to their clients, but in most cases, the client does not agree. Most are skilled at listening to their clients and communicating the important milestones throughout the build process; however, pre-construction is really the key for setting up the smoothest build possible and turning clients into raving fans. During this advanced session, the panel discusses everything a builder needs to know about setting, managing and exceeding client expectations, including the best time to start, what you need to do to keep your clients happy and how to build relationships while setting boundaries.
