EPISODE 376: Are you tired of project delays caused by indecisive clients? What if the real problem isn’t your clients—but your process?

Sometimes, the chaos and indecision are self-created because we overwhelm clients with too many decisions to make.

In this week’s episode, I’ll reveal the root cause behind client indecision in construction projects and share practical strategies to help your clients decide faster.

We’ll dive into the chaos created by overlapping pre-construction and construction phases, the dangers of the “Burger King” philosophy in construction, and why unlimited flexibility leads to project delays and shrinking margins.

Listen now to take control of your time, eliminate chaos, and increase your profit margins.

Let’s jump right in!
