DESCRIPTION:Have you ever wondered what designers and builders really think
  about their clients\, or why it matters? David Skuodas spent the past sev
 eral years asking vendors in the construction industry the following quest
 ion: "Why does it matter to be a good client?" Skuodas interviewed over 50
  consultants\, contractors\, and client project managers about this topic.
  He asked them what differentiates a good client from a bad client\, and h
 ow the client affects the cost\, schedule\, and quality of a project. He a
 lso asked vendors what conditions allow them to do their best work\, and c
 onversely\, what might an owner do that makes it difficult for vendors to 
 do their jobs effectively? This book allows you to peek behind the curtain
  and find out how designers and builders really differentiate between good
  and bad clients. You will learn how client behavior affects the price and
  quality of work - and even how designers and builders choose their client
 s. That's right\, just because you have a project to bid doesn't anybody h
 as to bid it. This book offers practical advice on how you can improve you
 r standing with designers and builders so you can become a client of choic
 e. Make no mistake: owners are in competition with each other for a very l
 imited pool of capable designers and builders. Being a desirable customer 
 is smart business\, this book will show you how.
