Synopsis

Design intent, owner priorities, and contractor execution don’t always align—but when they do, great things happen. This session dives into the breakdowns that can derail a project and the strategies that help keep everyone moving in the same direction. This conversation is built around real project experiences and will explore how collaboration, communication, and flexibility make all the difference when it comes to avoiding costly disconnects.
