Beyond drawings and specifications, the conversation will address client management: who owns which conversations, how technical constraints are translated into design language, how disagreements are presented (or not) to the homeowner, and how unified communication protects trust. Designers, integrators, builders, and architects will gain insight into collaboration models that balance creative vision, system performance, and customer experience without eroding margins or relationships.Show MoreClick the title to see all detailsShow More
