The Effective Client

Why Being a Good Client Is Smart Business in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction Industries

De: David Skuodas

Narrado por: David Skuodas

Have you ever wondered what designers and builders really think about their clients or why it matters? David Skuodas spent the past several years asking vendors in the construction industry the following question: Why does it matter to be a good client?

Skuodas interviewed over 50 consultants, contractors, and client project managers about this topic. He asked them what differentiates a good client from a bad client and how the client affects the cost, schedule, and quality of a project. He also asked vendors what conditions allow them to do their best work and, conversely, what might an owner do that makes it difficult for vendors to do their jobs effectively?

This audiobook allows you to peek behind the curtain and find out how designers and builders really differentiate between good and bad clients. You will learn how client behavior affects the price and quality of work and even how designers and builders choose their clients. That's right! Just because you have a project to bid doesn't mean anybody has to bid it.

This book offers practical advice on how you can improve your standing with designers and builders so you can become a client of choice. Make no mistake - owners are in competition with each others for a very limited pool of capable designers and builders. Being a desirable customer is smart business, and this audiobook will show you how.
