I am thinking a lot about communication today. The team that builds a house consists of three entities- for the most part- Client, Architect and Contractor.
If all three are communicating well and supportive of each other the job goes incredibly smoothly. Everyone sleeps well at night, everyone feels respected, money and time stay within the realm of expectations for all.
Our worst building experiences ALWAYS happen due to bad communication- on anyone's part. Lying, misleading, trying to cover your butt instead of admitting to missing something, bad mouthing the other party ~ all of these are the hallmarks of a terrible construction project. All of these things lead to more problems down the line and more money wasted by all. No good!
Our goal on every job site is to have information openly shared, problems solved as a team and everyone working together toward a common goal of a great house and a solid job done. Then, we all want to repeat the experience. We love contractors who work with us to figure out the best way to build something or solve a problem. We love clients who communicate. If these things work then we LOVE our job!
Here's to excellent communication!
