North Bay NARI Builders’ Roundtable Presents:


How Contractors & Architects Work best as a team!

Top Contractors and Architects share their partnership success stories.

Despite the myth that Architects and General Contractors often butt heads on projects, there can actually be another side to the story! In this dynamic and engaging discussion, you will hear how three top Contractors and Architects discuss how to work best as a TEAM!
 
Attend and find out...

  • How successful Contractors and Architects can forge successful relationships
  • What the key is to good communication between the two
  • What Contractors and Architects are each looking for that constitutes a good team approach for successful projects and happy clients

The format will be three Architects presenting what they need from contractors and then three contractors presenting the same; followed by a question and answer session. The focus of this panel is to reach consensus on how working as team Contractors and Architects can overcome the obstacles that historically cause problems and ultimately unhappy clients.
