Project cost is now under more scrutiny than at any other point in recent times due to challenges and uncertainty in the financial market. Material and labor costs have begun to level out, but there is increased pressure to deliver quality assets on schedule and on budget. There are a number of approaches to keeping projects on time and on budget, from implementing processes and strategies to changing the scope of projects in the market today. This event will discuss what project managers and developers are attempting on the front end. For those able to secure financing, rezoning efforts and building permit approval remain obstacles. Panelists will cover how to best position projects for successful and efficient submission, and how to collaborate with Metro to avoid roadblocks.
Join us as we cover the most pressing issues in the building landscape to better equip you in your search for your next deals.
