The Communication Gaps in Construction


Listen Later

As the year wraps up, what have we learned about the industry? What needs to be fixed, and in what ways have we made great strides? Join host Todd and guest Cameron Page as they talk about the jobs that set us up for success in the long run, how to pull together different industry groups for the better, the best ways to convince the industry to adopt new tech and tools, and how a workflow would look in a perfect world.

Cameron is available to offer listeners the keys to processing change orders faster and how to mitigate risks when speeding up the process.
