    What It's About

    Buyers often arrive with big ideas and opinions about “smart homes,” yet technology conversations are frequently delayed until late in construction, when options are limited and changes become expensive. This interactive Shop Talk explores best practices for discussing technology earlier with clients in order to deliver more successful projects. Share your tips and hear from fellow custom builders about moving tech conversations beyond apps and smartphones to help clients explore what’s truly possible, how to align technology expectations with their budget, and ways to reduce delays, rework, and missed opportunities through early decisions on tech.
