WHAT IT'S ABOUT

Closing out a project with minimal stress—for both the remodeler/builder and the client—is easier said than done. All too often, a company does not have a well thought out system for job closeout, resulting in the never-ending punch list and feeling of dread as you finish the project.

Is it even possible to close out a job without a lot of stress? Attend this talk and learn tried and true methods for managing client expectations throughout your relationship. Learn how to start the close-out of a project from the initial sales presentation to the collection of the last payment.

The final days of the project will become a celebration, and not a race to finish a never-ending punch list.

Learning Objectives

• Set up expectations with the client so your company can exceed them, and review proven ways to decrease stress at job close out
• Ensure your client has a truly clear idea of exactly what “done” means before the job even starts.
• Create a system for managing the final days of the project so that costs are minimized, and you get the results you want.
