Every project has a life cycle. No matter if you are a project or marketing manager, or an administrative assistant or office manager, understanding project life cycles will help you streamline processes, save time and money, help ensure project success, and above all, future-proof you! 

The A/E/C industry, or more simply the construction industry, is significantly different than many traditional businesses. It is certainly different than real-estate, a business that buys, sells, and leases the product of the industry. It’s an industry based upon complex legal agreements, wildly divergent delivery methods and relationships.

It’s no secret that we are obsessed with great teachers (yeah, us, those who work in the A/E/C industry), so a conversation about this hot topic with Marc Chavez seems so relevant! Marc is experienced in all aspects of architectural practice. This is a can’t-miss session and an opportunity to discover something new with tools you can put to work immediately.  We’ll introduce the teams, the delivery methods and the relationships engendered by those delivery methods.  While examining the fundamentals of this industry, we’ll also introduce some of the challenges faced by teams in the A/E/C field and some paths towards successful business practice.

We hope you can join us!  This is a free, business practice webinar for all SDA members. Non-members enjoy a nominal cost to attend.

No-shows and cancelations after Sept. 22 will not be refunded. Registration for this business practice event closes at noon (PST) on Sept. 28.
