Is a Systemized Approach Better for Your Construction Project?
There may be a few wacky business owners out there that like surprises and unpredictability. When planning their construction project they don’t care how their new building turns out, how much it costs, or whenever it gets completed. If those business owners exist, we wouldn’t know.
